2011 St. Jude Give Thanks. Walk (Nov. 19) Please join us in helping St. Jude! On Saturday, November 19, we are participating in the New York City St. Jude Give Thanks. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, though we originally registered for the one in Meriden, CT. (Confusing, I know, but we like to keep people on their toes.)
There are 80 walks across the country, and registration is free if you would like to participate. Support our team or create your own to help in the fundraising. Even a few dollars make a difference.

Colin has received the bulk of his care at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which performs invaluable research on childhood cancers and other lifethreatening illnesses and provides its services absolutely free of charge to all patients. We ask that you consider St. Jude for your charitable giving to help reduce suffering and improve the lives of children across the world. St. Jude received a five-star rating on Charity Navigator!
