Our family of four headed into Washington DC this past weekend for the first ever National Walkathon for Tuberous Sclerosis. Last year I participated in the walk in Silver Springs, Maryland where the headquarters of the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance is located. This was the first national walk and we were thrilled to be a part of it! There were over 300 people from 16 different states who participated and over $120,000 was raised! We raised $3,100 and were so excited to be able to have such an awesome amount to give to our special cause. Our hope is for this money to be used towards research that may benefit Anna in the future. A great big thank you to all of our friends and family who donated to support us. We can't even begin to express how grateful we are for every single donation. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
The walk started at the Washington Monument and went around World War II Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and the Vietnam Memorial. We love going into DC and are always mesmerized by the beauty of all of the monuments/memorials. It was a gorgeous backdrop for our walk!
