Last weekend I took a road trip to Philadelphia in order to shoot one of my favorite events: the American Diabetes Association Annual Walk. It was fantastic this year and bigger than ever! 3,500 dedicated and compassionate souls rolled out of bed on a chilly Saturday morning to assert their commitment and passion to fighting this disease. Currently, nearly 24 million Americans' lives are threatened by diabetes and the numbers are rising at an alarming rate. Yet, with dedication to the cause and powerful organizations like the ADA we can press onward to find a cure. Congrats to Julie Heverly for spearheading a wonderfully successful event and special thanks to Kathleen, Jessica, Denise and the rest of the ADA staff for making me feel so welcome. The trip back to Boston was unfortunately, not as successful as my time in Philly had been, but I did learn an important lesson: NEVER TRAVEL WITHOUT A GPS AND AN EASY PASS! (Three consecutive trips over the Tappan Zee Bridge really brought this lesson home for me!)
Denise, the energetic woman who drove me along the route, said to me: "Just run down the ramp to get the photos you want by the water." When we got there I looked out the window and replied: "umm??? Just run down the ramp, huh?" A few people were in the way!
It's never too early to join the fight...
We owe it to those who love us...
enjoy*
