"Almost" Wordless Wednesday: AIDS Walk OC 2011

Last Sunday, Chad had the opportunity to participate in this year's (the 25th) AIDS Walk OC which took place at the Disneyland Resort, with Team Finding Mickey.  We were a small bunch, but we managed to raise $550 for the cause ($50 of Chad's donations somehow wound up in the general donations, really can't explain why).  These are just a few of the almost 200 pictures we took during the course of the day; some of the others will show up when we blog about the event either this weekend or early next week.  It was hard to pick just 10!  In the meantime, thanks for the support of everyone who made donations or encouraged us as we were walking.  Y'all are awesome!

circa 5:30am, May 1, 2011 - Mickey and Friends Parking Structure
Registration begins!
Walking the tram route to the Walk
Note the clock: 6:15am and preparing to walk!
Waiting for Mickey to give us the go ahead and begin the coundown
We love, LOVED having the characters encourage us along. So cool!
One of our favorite moments of the entire day, bar none

Just after crossing the finish line - 5K (or 3.2 miles later)
What Walk would be complete without a rope drop and an 'Oscar's Choice' at the Carnation Cafe after?

Thanks so much, Jenn :)

It was a lot of fun and so great since it was for a good cause. I hope to write about it early next week when I have the time to do it justice, AND get a few more pictures I need. ;)
