Every Woman Matters Walk

I had the best time EVER at the Every Woman Matters Walk yesterday at Jones Beach. The event raised funds for the Katz Women's Hospital and the Women's Health Institute. However it was so much more than just a fundraiser. The event showed how wonderful and generous people can be. From my co-workers who gave a little here and a little there, no questions asked, to all the "new" friends I met at the walk, there was a sense of togetherness and compassion.

Nearly 3000 moms, sisters, brothers, husbands etc etc walked the three miles on a beautiful Sunday morning. The Jones Beach boardwalk was a fantastic venue and made for a picturesque scene.

There was a nice warmup yoga, even my mother-in-law Margie joined the fun and several booths for people to peruse.

Volunteers were everywhere and on hand to help with just about anything. As always, it's about those that give of their time freely. Where would we be without them?!?
