Walk for Thought

Last year out niece McKenna was hurt in gym class while playing capture the flag.  By hurt I mean she is suffering from a Traumatic Brain Injury and her life has been turned upside down.  Unable to go back to school, watch t.v., surf the web or even read her days as you can imagine are long and she is in constant pain.  Soooo the least we could do was head out to the lake on a cold saturday morning to walk with others suffering from the same and many different brain injuries.  The Walk for Thought was a great way to show our support for Kenna and hope that soon she will regain her strength and be able to get back to her "normal" teenage life.

Oh and I should mention that Isaac walked/rode his trike for all but 5 minutes of the walk.  So proud of him and he still didn't nap in case you were wondering!
Don Shelby was a guest speaker at the walk.  Kenna got to meet him.
