Riverwalk Great Strides!
Last night was the last "Great Strides" walk for Cammie's Florida teams. It was hosted by the Crown Point Hotel on the Riverwalk in downtown Jacksonville. This walk is unlike the others, as this one is only about one and a half miles long. We started off the evening with registration and some great music by Ace Winn (check him out at acewinn.com). The event was MC'd by Amadeus from 99.9 Gator Country and of course Angela from the CFF. The walk route was a great one! We walked along the Jacksonville river front and over one of the downtown bridges, the Main Street bridge, or the blue bridge as Cammie calls it. Once over the bridge we turned around and headed back to the starting point at the hotel
When we return to the pool deck, the music of Ace Winn continued to play and the Crown Point provided food and drinks for all of the participants. While eating, I gave a brief speech on where the CFF is in the latest research and how they are being affected by the current economic times.
Following my speech, it was raffle time! And for some reason, we had the luck tonight! We won two different movie nights and a gift certificate for the New Balance store. Unfortunately we didn't win the Nintendo Wii they were raffling off. The evening concluded with some more music and relaxing by the river.
All in all this was a great event. Special thanks to the girls at the North Florida CFF and to Amadeus and Ace Winn! I will get back to you on the total money raised for our teams when all the money finishes rolling in!

Cammie's First Disney Trip!
Well yesterday we returned from Cammie's first trip to Disney (oh and mine)! She had a BLAST. The first day, Wednesday, we arrived around 3 pm and headed straight over to the Magic Kingdom. Cammie's first ride: The tea cups! We had it spinning so fast that I think she almost threw up. Next we explored the rest of the park, where we found a bunch of rides for her: Dumbo, Magic Carpet, Carousel, Riverboat, and the list go on! The evening concluded with fireworks over Cinderella's Castle, which we watched from the boat ride back to the parking area.
Second day started with a morning trip to the pool. Which was really the only thing Cammie really wanted to do! It's funny how you go on a trip Disney and the only thing Cammie wants to do is go swimming! After the pool we headed back over to the Magic Kingdom to visit the rest of the park. We spent most of the time on Tom Sawyer Island (some by choice and some by mother nature). After we we're finally allowed back to the mainland, Cammie wanted to ride most of the rides from the day before...so we did those and of course a little more.
Third day we went to Hollywood Studios were we saw the special effects demo, and the Little Mermaid. But the thing Cammie loved the most was the Toy Story ride. I think we rode this a minimum of 10 times. What a great ride. After Hollywood Studios we went back to the hotel and did a little swimming at the pool.
Fourth and final day was Animal Kingdom! As you all know, Cammie loves animals. So of course this was a blast. We did the Safari ride and saw all types of animals. We also did a bunch of small rides around the park and the last thing we did was "It tough being a bug" (A bug's life 4D show). All in all Cammie had a great time!
As far as Cammie's health, she's still doing pretty good. Still trying to kick the Pseudomonas from her lungs via inhaled antibiotics. Everything else is doing great. Hope you all enjoy the pics!!
