Why We Walk

If you follow Irish Eyes Photography on Facebook (and if you don't - you should!), you know that tomorrow, Rosie Mae and I (Mike is away on a trip) will be walking with the rest of our team for The Good Samaritans 5K Run/Walk 2012.We walk (or run) to raise money for the prevention of suicide.  Our team leader, Sue Dosenberg Kelly, lost her brother Greg to suicide ten years ago.  For his tenth anniversary, our team has set a lofty goal of $5,000 to raise.  At the time of this post, we're 62% there.You can read about our team's efforts in The Weymouth News.

Sue put together this amazing slideshow.  Check it out:
