No, Jackie, we do not plan on going back to the big NYC walk this year. They didn't pick any or either of the photos I sent in, never was sure if I submitted two or three. I had hopes for this one but no dice. So, I think we'll be going back to the CHOP connected walk at Villanova this year www.tri21center.org/BuddyWalkInfo.htmlBut I think we've already got one photo we'll send in for next year's Times Square contest. Charlie with his cousin Mallory at her wedding. And maybe we'll find another one or two to run by them. Probably a bit self-centered and self-interested, but my position is we'll train into the city if they pick one of Charlie's photos. Otherwise, we'll make the easier trip to Villanova and support the friends of CHOP. Charlie saw Dr. Pipan at CHOP on Tuesday, will see his endocrinologist at satellite office on Monday, and little brother Robert has an appointment at CHOP next Friday. I think we'd get frequent flier miles at CHOP if they gave any. But, yes, I think Buddy Walks are a good thing. Also fun. And thanks to "squeak" for clarifying that unfortunate mess in Ohio from a few years back. Maybe "squeak" would like to come back and give an introduction and join the general fray here. Or not, thanks in any case. Cheers, Bob

Cute cute pics! Surely next year...
I agree...we would not be doing this if Em wasnt in the video...but she does love NYC and any chance to make the thousands of mile trip she will! I am sure she gets in because they get far less older adult pics.
I think everyone should support their local group...I am really doing that...giving a token to sponsor the kids walk...but all that money goes directly to the NDSS and I would like for some local groups to benefit. If you read my post from Marnie on the thread I posted about the walk you will see that she also urges people to give locally. But some people have no Buddy Walk and this all goes in the long run to help many.
I just hope now that they are doing it that the weather is good. The three of them are driving this weekend to Charlotte to celebrate my grandaughter, Tabitha's 3rd birthday! I am jealous because Marnie and I have taken this 6 hr drive together the past few years as a girl's trip and I will be missing it.
You know...you can submit the same pics next year too...think the one in the shirt was terrific....
Jackie

Years ago my Mother sent in some pictures of me for the video. The picked one which I didn't like. I was grinning. My Aunt had taken it while I was working. I had on a denium cap on and t-shirt. I was twenty. It was a very old picture of me. They liked it and I received a letter. We bought the video and I have watched it several times. It had Tracie Ullman and Chris Burke at the end of it doing a comedy act. I still can't believe I was on that big picture thing in New York City. ;D....Debbie
