Little Bit of Walk
Raises Little Bit of Money
Contributed by Glen

On
Sunday, April 14th, the fourth annual "Little Bit of a
Walk" took another stride towards helping families with
children with cancer. The walk raises money for "Making
Headway," A family support group that helps the families of
Brain Cancer Patients. Elizabeth Ryan lost her battle to the
decease. With the help of her family, the walk continues the
ongoing need to raise funds to support victims and their
families when they need the support the most.
Diane Ryan, Elizabeth's mother, could
not imagine how successful this years walk would be. "We
gave away all the shirts, and there were about 600 of them"
Diane Ryan said. "I still don't believe we raised over
20,500 dollars on this walk!". The Ryans had some help in
this success. This year the walk was able to raffle off
autographed memorabilia from local sports teams.
Many thanks From the Ryan family to the
organizers and workers who volunteered their time to this event,
O.L.M.M. Church and Long Beach Catholic School, not to mention
all the runners and walkers who braved the 78 degree heat.
