Colorado can sure dish out the weather. The change in weather today did not harden the hearts of many people at Clement Park. Today was the annual Foothills CROP Walk. The CROP Walk is made up of teams from different churches and schools not to mention individuals. CROP Walks are done in many communities and funds are raised to support Church World Service. Church World Services feeds hungry families throughout the world, including the US. A percentage of the funds raised goes to support soup kitchens and food banks here in the local Denver area.
The CROP Walk is a 5K walk. Or a couple laps around the lake at Clement Park. I admittedly only did one lap, but since I am 34 weeks pregnant that counts as 2 laps right? Walkers ask friends and family to support them, therefore, raising money for Church World Services.
There were quite a few who decided to walk at home or in the gym on a treadmill, but the weather today did not deter all the walkers. My team, Faith Lutheran Church, was dwindled from a mighty 70 walkers into the teens. Yet, there were still quite a few brave souls willing to brave the cold and wind. Regardless of the weather everyone was in high spirits. The sun even came out as we began the walk. Hopefully next year the weather will hold out a little better.

I would like to say a special thank you to my personal sponsors!
