Team Cole - Hydrocephalus Walk

We had such a beautiful day for the Hydrocephalus walk this year. It's held at Sugarhouse Park in SLC, which is really an ideal setting between the geese, the pond, the mild walk - including a few small hills. 

Cole has it pretty easy - lucky him!

We had breakfast again catered by Einstein bagels with fruit and juice. We had the usual hats, writs bands, tshirts, and boozle bears (small stuffed bear with his own shunt), face painting, and raffle. Tami and Shaylee were able to attend with us again this year as well as some good friends we've made at the hospital and other hydrocephalus events. 

These are our friends the McFaddens. Two of their sons have the same condition as Cole. 

We even managed to get a few celebrities from one of the local radio stations - but I negleted to get pictures, so you'll just have to take my word for it. 

Unfortunately we didn't have the participation we had last year - but it wasn't due to lack of effort from the walk co-chairs. These ladies (and their families) are amazing and tireless. We're a little worried, we've volunteered to help for next year's walk and we hope we can keep up. 

Vicky's husband has hydrocephalus, and has just undergone two surgeries related to his shunt. Kelly was diagnosed in college (if I remember correctly). 

None the less, we all had a good time and we look forward to next year. 

We're all a little wiped out by the end of the day
