For the first time in 10 years we had significant rain and wind on walk day. Fortunately there was some sun as well and the actual walk portion of the event was dry. Despite the weather, Mother Nature couldn't stop us from topping our goal and raising an event-record $268,000! The weather kept some of the Troopers away and helped some leave a little early, so we don't have a team photo this time around. Longhorn Barbeque fed us well again this year and we all took naps when we got home!
