Great Strides is coming up in May. After a couple of months of trying to decide if I should be the sole organizer, I finally decided it's best for me and the pregnancy if I took this year off. I asked a few friends if they would be interested in taking over (at least for 2013) and had one step up and say yes. What a relief! I wanted to see the walk continue but thought I just couldn't do it this year. I am still involved and am still helping with the walk..... I couldn't completely let go! I just don't have to deal with the stress of it and am not the "go to" person. I thought I'd be sad or feel guilty, but I actually feel really relieved. I can concentrate on the pregnancy and fundraising. Below are pictures starting with the first Great Strides Walk Honolulu where I was the organizer/main local contact.
