Butterfly Walk 2013 “If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.” –unknown
Despite the cold and damp weather (and lots of mud!), countless of walkers and runners came out on Saturday for the annual Butterfly Walk and 5K. Great fun was had by all. The highlight of the day was honoring all of our courageous cancer survivors and remembering those precious ones that lost their battle to cancer. Thank you to our chairs, Amy and Mike Paribello and Donna Tipton, who worked tirelessly to put on such a wonderful and important event for CFK. And thanks to the myriad of volunteers who made this day run so smoothly despite Mother Nature!
