This morning was the Sixth Annual Walk for a Healthy Community sponsored by Highmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield. It was a rainy morning, but Greg and I headed down to Heinz Field at 7:30 this morning to support Sojourner House.
There were a great many other board members and their families at the walk as well as staff and volunteers. Here are some of the sites (along with my personal commentary).
Anne is checking in a soggy walker at the Sojourner House table in front of Heinz Field.
Joann, Gloria, Jill (background), and Anne were helping this person check-in. Somehow I missed LaMarcus. Where is he?
Anne waves in the background as Dan (board treasurer), his wife, Laurie, and their son look back toward the Turkey Hill ice cream tent. Hmmmm! Ice cream for breakfast!
This doggie is wearing his mom's t-shirt! He looks comfy!
Miguel invents the t-shirt umbrella!
This looks like a Kodak moment . . . maybe . . . .

Greg poses with Cheese Chester . . . a Pittsburgh celebrity!
Steely McBeam was there to entertain us all!
We finally did get the show on the road! Somebody sang the national anthem . . . or at least the words were the same. Why do they schmaltz it up like that? I kind of like it straight so I can sing along.
Thanks to the Walk Committee chair LaMarcus and his wife Robin and their family, to Anne, Joann, Gloria, Debbie, Jill, Dan and Laurie, Miguel, Steve and family, all the walkers from Fifth Third Bank, and all the people I didn't see or forgot to name. You guys are awesome! Thanks for helping us raise money for the families of Sojourner House.
A special thanks to LaMarcus who chaired the event for Sojourner House and his able partner and Highmark connection, Anne! Thanks team!
