A tribute to our walk team

We are more thankful than we can ever say to everyone on Team Shelby. Anyone who has given a dime, turned out for a walk or gathered donations from 10,000 people are all members of the team. We couldn't do what we do without all of you. We do have a particular fondness for those who turn out in the early morning hours at Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek for the 5k-walk that culminates the annual Team Shelby/Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation fundraising effort. In 2003, we had a great group, all decked out in royal blue team shirts and, for the first time, caps. We look forward to another great trip around the park on Oct. 3, 2004. Any team members who can make it are more than welcome. After the walk we invite any and all who care to join us over to our house for a post-walk barbecue, which is lots of fun. It's great to see people from various aspects of our lives share in a meal and get to know each other when other their only common bond is Shelby and a genuine concern for her well-being and health. We thank everyone who has ever walked with our team and those too distant to make who said a special prayer for us on that day.
