Oh this is a great event to help us build awareness or trainers out those four children and and we built it up from last year where Evan we have a lot more participants this year and it just spills awareness.
Thank you for being here and walking today every step you take is a step forward for our kids thank you very much.
Just the warmest feeling about the kids that are being here do you notice even the ones that couldn't walk the ones that had to be pushed around the ones that were in pressure garments from having been burned so bad they all had a smile those kids are an inspiration to us it's a health walk a health activity that we want to get our patients and families and Shriners involved in you know having them be able to cross the finish line it's a really important thing to them and they may not have had that opportunity to do that before so we always want them to be having a day where they're welcome where they feel like they're home they're comfortable in their surroundings and we can raise some awareness for a Shriners Hospitals for children and some fun thank you for all your hard work and you do a good job.
