Have A Chance Walk to Fight Brain Tumors

Home Our Bus Riders Before The Walk During the walk
We had 42 bus riders from JFK Medical Center to the 3rd Annual Have A ChanceWalk September 28, 2008 at Battery Park in New York City. We had members of these teams riding the bus; The Aftermath, Bob's Angels, Team Testa, Victor's Vigorous Walkers and the CNJBTSG- Brain Tumor Bashers. (IF there were more teams on the bus, please let me know)
We thank Debbie and Jimmy's friend, Helen, for taking the photos for the group and the Chrisbacher family for their photos, too. If anyone has more photos taken on the walk, and you want them on our website, please send them to me. (sshrodo@optonline.net)
Although it was very misty and rainy,everyone seemed to have a good time. This walk took a different route around lower Manhattan from that of last year's walk. There were about 1300 walkers (out of the 1800 who registered) and about $500,000 was raised, so far, for Have A Chance and the National Brain Tumor Association. We met a great bunch of people and had some nostalgic moments meeting old friends and group members.
Thank YOU for making the walk such a success! Donations can still be made to the walk until the end of December at www.haveachancewalk.org
This is a photo taken after the walk while waiting for the bus to come and for Meghan & Victor and their team to return from their walk around Battery Park. We had a funny thing happen while setting up for this photo. The young woman in the front row to the left of Stan was walking to the ferry terminal and when she saw us getting together for the photo she asked if she could join us. So I said "Sure, why not?" and she joined the group photo. We thank Debbie's friend, Helen, for taking the photos for the group and the Chrisbacher family for their photos, too.
Imagine my surprise when I went to the Have A Chance webpage on Monday morning and saw this photo with Meghan^ and her team in it. Victor is right behind Meghan partially hidden and wearing the yellow survivor's shirt.
