The opening ceremony was at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday and the closing ceremony was at 7:00 a.m. Sunday. Between the four of us Scullys and my sister, Heather, we walked 67.25 miles in 17 hours! That doesn't take into account Laura Gippert's family or Christine Bromley, who also walked with us!
We had a fun night of walking, talking, and playing. Most importantly, however, we had time to reflect on WHY we were there - WHY raising money for the American Cancer Society is so important to us. We talk to remember. We walk to honor our parents - Angela Joy Clemenshaw, who we lost in 2005, and Rolland Scully, who we lost in 2006. They are always in our hearts and we are privileged to be able to honor them in this way.
The entire Joyful Noise! team raised a total of $960 for the American Cancer Society! "Thank You!" to everyone who participated and supported us! "Thanks" also to Scott Fuller and Jen Maley for helping us fundraise!
