View Full Version : Brampton Walk
While we didn't do quite as well as Edmonton ,we are smaller with about 200 walkers and raised about $30,000. That is the preliminary figure as more donations are expected this week. Lee, Liz and the rest of the committee did a great job. The food and Elvis impersonator were great, the weather was fantastic and we think we'll get some good press from it. Can't ask for much more than that.

Way to go Al, Lee and Brampton walkers. $30,000. is an amazing amount of money. Elvis impersonator, we don't have that at the Alliston walk.
Congrats,

Sounds great Al! Where do you walk? A trail or a park?
Barbie, I spent some time training at CFB Borden and a whole lotta time at the Tim Horton's in Alliston! Mind you, that was in the mid 80's so I don't know if it's even there anymore.
Cheers!

Hi Mike
I live just south of Base Borden in Everett. Where are you now?

I'm in Edmonton now. I was with the MPs so we did our our training right there.
I was there in '85 when that tornado tore through. We were called out for security and search/rescue in Barrie...sure saw mother nature's power that year!
I loved that area. I tried to get a posting there but no jobs opened up. Guess no one wanted to leave.:-D

The 'l' in Philadelphia was left out. Nice photos!

Pretty bad when a Canuck has to teach an American how to spell Philly. Eh? LOL.
We've all done the same thing Beebe. Lots of letters and symbols there to confuse us old folks.

Great walk Beebee, And some great pictures.
We have been checking into how many people we have in our area that have ALS and so far in the Gulfport area we have found out about only 5 that we know about.
I wish I could get in touch with them to let them know about the forum, and starting a support group, but doctors will not give out any names.
Anyone have any idea how I could get that information?
God Bless
Capt AL
hey al. ask the doctors or ALSA/MDA to pass your name and number to them with what you want to do. them passing your info doesn't violate confidentiality issues.
