2012 PKD Walk in Los Angeles

This years walk was GREAT!
We had a lot of fun being together and supporting Polycycstic Kidney Disease research.

The Mahon, Loves, and Smith Families were all there to support us!
Say hello to team "The Mahon Brood 2012"!

This year the walk was in Santa Monica right on the beach.  There was a park there and it was a perfect location!
(we were there early to set up so there was BEFORE most of the people got there... it was packed!)


Jimmy was still in the security mindset... :)  He was guarding those free bananas! :)  By the way, thank you to the individual who donated the fruit from Trader Joe's!!!


There were two big tables set up (on like this on the other side of the stage) from UCLA giving out information about dialysis and kidney treatments!


They did a penny kids dash before the walk... we tried to get Connor to run but he got shy... :)


Jimmy being goofy... :)  The team who had the most team spirit got a certificate... it replaced this one in the frame.  Jimmy wanted to feel special so held up a blank discarded one.  


Connor had fun playing with Charity! :)  He loves to make her giggle.


The walk took us down to the pier then we walked back.  It was a really nice walk!


Here's our little mob of walkers!  They said they were expecting 300 walkers and there were a LOT more than that... don't know total numbers but there were a lot of people! 


Connor and Vale love their Uncle Trevor and Aunt Kati!


YEAH!   We did it!!!


We ended up raising almost $74,000 total!!!  YEAH!!

Can't wait till next year!
