Three: Third Annual Sturgis Ambulance 5K Color Splash

Walk number three was Thursday, May 24, 2018. It was my first "color splash," and I was not sure what to expect. My friend Cindy joined me for the fun. It all began at the Sturgis Ambulance/Fire Hall. The color flew around even before we started walking.
In several spots along the way, EMS members and other volunteers splashed us with color. Both Cindy and I were great targets for some former students--like Tallina:-)
The planned route took us down Ball Park Road to Main Street, then west to Seventh Street and north to Lazelle. It then went back to Third Street and followed it to Colorado Drive, David Drive, and Ball Park to end up back where we started. Cindy and I followed the route--almost. One detour was onto Cooper Loop to wave at my mom as we went by. It took a little longer than expected since Eddie the dog escaped, and I had to catch him before we could continue our walk. When we got to Bear Butte School, we took another short cut through the parking lot--but still walked over two and a half miles. No regrets!

Two: Black Hills Walk for Wishes

Saturday, May 19, 2018, my friend Peggy and I "walked for wishes" in Rapid City. It was the Sixth Annual Black Hills Walk for Wishes sponsored by Make a Wish South Dakota.
We had a great time visiting while we learned about the amazing impact Make a Wish has on the lives of local families. The walk began at Main Street Square and followed several city blocks to end up back at Main Street Square.

My next walk is Thursday night in Sturgis. It's a 5K Color Splash Fundraiser for the Sturgis Ambulance. If you'd like to join me, here is the link to more information: https://www.facebook.com/events/1806710506046921/
