The 2012 Fort Worth Kidney Walk is in the books!
Maddie and Jerry!
This is Jerry's 5th anniversary of his kidney transplant!!
So thankful that he is healthy and that we have him to look to as Maddie grows up with kidney disease.

One of the really cool things that they did this year was to give the top teams signs along the path and a big tent to hang out at!! Our team as of yesterday had raised almost $3000 with Maddie having $2300 in her name. That put her as the single largest fundraiser two years in a row!! So yeah, she got a sign :)
Since we have a lot of little ones and lots of stollers, it was really nice to have a designated spot.
And here we are at the beginning of the walk.
While the NKF Kidney Walk's purpose is to raise funds for research, one of the things that I appreciate the most about the walk is that one day a year, we don't feel alone. That there are people out there that understand what we are going through and that they have been there before us and will help us walk down this difficult road.
At the finish line! No, Maddie didn't complete the entire walk. But she was able to walk for 45 minutes. That's longer than we had thought she would!
After the walk we had a picnic and enjoyed some family time.
Here Kylie is with my cousin Jennifer and her husband Jerry.
And it wouldn't be a family day without a picture of Maddie and her cousin Abby!
Finally, I love this picture my dad took!!Thanks Dad!!
Thank you for supporting Maddie's Team 2012!
