Walk For Maddie

I’m walking in Reno/Sparks NV but I think I’m the only blogger here in town that is walking specifically for Maddy. That’d be great if there were others!

Marilyns last blog post..Sucker Punch

I donated yesterday – still thinking she’d be ok. I just can’t believe it’s not ok. It’s devastating to think about her parents.

I’ll walk in Nashville. If you need help Lotus, you have my number.

I tried to create a team in Salt Lake for 25 April, but it looks like it’s already been created under “March for Maddie”—but doesn’t show up in searches. Would love to be included if someone can help me out with details.

Nevermind–team “Remembering Maddie” has been created in Salt Lake City, Utah for 25 April. http://www.marchforbabies.org/teams/706784

So very sad, but seeing such an outpouring is inspiring.

Maggie’s Minds last blog post..Drowning More Gracefully

Wow, SO sad, just awful. I just signed up for the Los Angeles march & will look into the details and post about it in the morning when I can see straight. This family is in MY city. It’s easy to let things go by – lots of tragedy in the world – but I just think – what if this were my baby? How much would it mean to have so much support coming out of the woodwork, from people you don’t even know? It hit home for me. I’ll be there.

Hey, how’d you put Maddie’s picture on your badge?

That video, this outpouring of love and support, that sweet angel’s eyes…. just blow.me.away.

Assuming the walk is stroller friendly (my double stroller is a heavy mutha and doesn’t go off road well), I’ll be there with you my friend! Waiting to hear if my hubby wants to join us too.

Am looking for a Walk for Maddie in the Atlanta area. Have you heard of any being set up? Would love to participate to honor such an adorable little girl who was taken WAY too soon.

My trivial life crap seems just that after reading Maddie’s family’s story. So sad.

I just set up a March of Dimes Team called “Atlanta Remember’s Maddie” for the Centennial Pk walk on April 25th in Atlanta. Here is a link to the page…

Thank for combining all of this information!

AJs last blog post..3 weeks in… a progress report

I started a team called Jax For Maddie in the First Coast (Jacksonville, FL) march. I’m still not positive I’ll be able to go, but I’m hoping I will. And I’m hoping that someone else will join the team now that it exists, so that if I can’t walk for Maddie, someone here will.

I’d love to connect with the Atlanta walkers — could someone email me or connect me?

Thanks!

You are listed on the blog list of Angie at Keep Believing. You know that she lost her husband to cancer on March 17. Angie and Brian would have celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary on April 19. I am hoping that I can get everyone in her blog list to post on their blogs at 12:00 am on April 19 a post with the title “Keep Believing” so that when she opens her blog, her blog list is filled with recent posts all titled “Keep Believing”. I don’t know how else to arrange this other than commenting on blogs, so forgive my off-topic comment. I would ask that you keep the post up for 24 hours in case she doesn’t look right away, and you don’t have to publish anything with it, just the title will do. I am using the scheduled post feature provided by blogger so I don’t forget. Thanks so much. Heather.

Just formed a team called Marching for Maddie Spohr in Augusta, NJ.

Thank you for posting this information. We had initially scrapped our plans to walk this year (we walk every year) as I was going to be out of town speaking at a conference on the date that our city was walking. I came here thinking that I wouldn’t be able to find one to walk in and found that my hometown city has a team on a weekend that I can attend.

So, thank you. MoD has been important to our family for years. But we’ll be walking for Maddie this year. Thank you.
