Dear children, who were so incredibly helpful and inspiring at the Walkathon.

Today, you all made a decision to make a difference in this world. You could have slept late. You could have gone to play baseball, soccer, lacrosse... You could have gone to birthday parties, bar/bat mitzvahs. You could have gone to the movies, hung out at a friend’s house, watched TV. Instead, each of you woke up very early in the morning, came down to the rotunda and helped out. You lifted boxes. You pushed hand trucks. You tied up signs. You unpacked all of our products. You sold raffles. You packed the goody bags. You made important announcements about the Walk on television. You blew up balloons. You were our t-shirt and backpack helpers at registration. You raised money. You walked the walk.

Everything you did at the Walkathon was meaningful to PCF. We would never have been ready for the walkers without all of you. The day would not have gone as smoothly as it did without all of you.

Everything you did helped make our community a better place -- you helped raise money to make sure thaat the kids with cancer get better, and that no other child is diagnosed with cancer.

We think that all of you should feel tremendously proud of yourselves for your very important contribution today. We certainly are!

We hope you will all join us again next year at our 15th Annual Walkathon. It won’t be the same without you.

Love,
Jodi Posner & Lois Baskin
