Step Lively! A Walk for Hospice


You've probably received an email from me recently asking for $ in support of an upcoming charity walk. If you read it, you know that Charles, Devlyn, Blake and I are participating in a 2 mile walk this Saturday to benefit Hospice of Wake County.

Here are a few things you may not know:

1) A team of freelance marketers (including me) spent the last 3.5 months helping Hospice of Wake County get this thing off the ground. It's the very first year for Step Lively! and we have 400 walkers participating!!!!

2) Our team, "The Dream Team", has raised a little over $2,000 during the last month in support of Step Lively! Thank you to all who have donated! Thank you to all who may still donate ; )

3) Over the past three years, we've helped Hospice of Wake County raise nearly $16 million dollars, all of which has gone towards purchasing land and building this area's first and only freestanding hospice facility. It's been an educational and inspirational experience for me...watching the building go from red dirt and concrete to a fully operational facility serving patients and their families at all levels of our community, regardless of their ability to pay.
