Good morning! You can probably tell but we’re communicating to you from Houston this a.m.(How would I be able to tell that?) Terribly excited to be presenting to the wonderful members of the Texas Medical Association (TMA.) We’re speaking, leading a Walk with a Doc and we have a booth! That’s a WWAD Hat Trick. Thank you TexMed! Today […]

So Happy Good morning! Today we honor Gus Chiggins, voted Most Cantankerous Walker of 2016-2017. Gus has now taken home the prize every year since its inception (2008). I sat down with Gus for an interview (Executive Committee ordered me to, I know Gus) DS: Gus, congratulations. How’s it feel to be selected the grumpiest WWAD’er in […]

Good morning! How is spring coming around for you? Us too, we love the beautiful weather. Remind me, did we talk about Calm, the app? 100% of our team uses this on a pretty regular basis. Great add to my day. Another great add for me, not the family is Yousician. I want to be Chris Martin from […]

Good morning! Feeling great? Us too. This weekend is shaping up really well. I’d like to tell you about my week – I had a great one. It started on Saturday morning. We were walking up to the pavilion around 8:20 and Jan was already sitting at a picnic table. Dressed in hot pink, she’s […]

Good morning! Oh my goodness what a glorious morning. Maybe it’s because I feel like I’m spending my days in Super Disney World, but the progress being made by Rachael and Jessica is stupifying and dizzifying. I brought a seat belt in Wednesday as a prop – just b/c they are going so fast. Turns […]

Pirates Good morning! Tuesday night is Spaghetti Night at the Lodge and I’m now aware that I had too much garlic with dinner. What followed was a diaphoretic (sweaty) nightmare in which my dinghy was being attacked by pirates. My internal questioning of why someone would attack a small craft with Dora the Explorer painted […]

March 24, 2017 Walk with a Doc Newsletter Good morning! Great news. You, Rachael, Jessica, me – we’re all now partnering on a new initiative with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA).When I think about this, I think about the NRPA’s Rich Dolesh. A guy who, years ago, broke his back to make us feel welcome. […]

Good morning! Hope this finds you well on this sunny Friday…with a healthy bracket?! We learned a lot at the Walk this week. Of course mom is always right, but she was so smart when she told us to eat our fruits and vegetables. We learned that it helps to have the ACLM on your side as we received […]

Good morning! Hope this finds you well. This week the walk has given us a whirlwind of activity and an avalanche of good news. Please trust that we are actively working on ways to transfer this abundance to you. The walk is a gift. Anyway, last week I was fortunate to witness many inspirational patient visits. […]

Walk with a Doc Newsletter Good morning! Don’t you love it when numbers come together? Janet, I know he’s your cardiologist, but I’m telling you. I can’t read another week of this cr-p. Numbers. Today, 3/3/17 is Rachael’s official 3rd anniversary as our Executive Director…and our family adds our 300th Chapter today. #300, who wants it? #100 is Dr. Susan […]
