Walk-a-Thon

At some point while living in Ogden, I participated in a March of Dimes Walk-a-Thon. I went door to door, because you could do that back then, and got people to pledge so much money per mile, and then when the big day came, I walked. I'm sure the rest of my family was in on it, too. I really don't know how or why it came about that we got involved in that, but we did and it was pretty cool. I got a lot of pledges, and I walked, and walked, and walked! It went all through downtown Ogden. I think I remember that there were rest stations along the way where we could get water and snacks, but don't quote me on that. The walk-a-thon took all day long, and it was exhausting. And then when it was over, I got to go back to those who had pledged, collect the money, and turn it in to the March of Dimes. I'm pretty glad I did that!
