It was a chilly, cloudy day but at least it was NOT raining like last year! 1600 people attended the 6th annual walk & as an organization $86,000 was raised for the Fox Cities area through sponsors, pledges & donations! Our team Dana's Daisies came in 2nd place this year raising $5801 thanks to our family & friends!!
Dana's Daisies - this is just 1/2 the group
Our family, my brother-in-laws family, friends of my sister & her husband all gathered under our tent & discussed the events occurring that afternoon & then everyone parted ways to go check out all the fun stuff there was to do before the walk.
My brother - the Bears fan wrapped in a Packers blanket.....hmmmmm!
They had a petting zoo, trampoline bungee jumping, rock wall climbing, bouncy inflatables, face painting, clowns a photo booth & so much more for the kids to do. We had a ball checking out all they had to offer!

After everyone had lunch & some fun checking out all the activities it was time to line up in front of the stage where they announced all the teams participating & who won 1st, 2nd & 3rd place in donations. Then it was time to start the 1 mile walk around the lake.

After the walk we helped tear the tent down, clean up & made our way back to my sister's house for pizza, cocktails & more family time. My brother spent time out with my nephews teaching them a few wrestling moves while Mase & his buddy Jensen watched a movie on the iPad.
It was a great day spent with family for an amazing cause & I love how our family has come together these past 2 years for this event to honor our sweetie pie Dana. Hoping to make this an annual tradition for many more years to come.
From my sister:
"This year was a record breaking year! As an organization, we raised $86,000 and had close to 1,600 walkers. Once again, our amazing family and friends came from across the country and locally to either support us by giving a donation or joining us the day of the walk. Dana's Daisies came in second this year raising $5,801. We cannot thank you enough! We have the best friends and family."
