Pat is in a friendly competition with my family members to see who can make their goals the most time in the next few months. One of his goals is to walk everyday. While I am very grateful that he has set this goal, my time is stretched very thin and in order for him to make his goal each day, he has been relying on me to assist him with his walking.
He (actually really me) is looking for some volunteers who would be willing to donate a little time to come and walk with him. It can be a little, or a lot, whatever you want to offer. He just needs someone who is willing to walk behind him, holding on to his belt so he can feel safe enough to concentrate on walking, instead of worrying if he is going to fall.
He does walk pretty slow, but is getting faster every day. He has a goal of walking unassisted with the walker by the time we move to Idaho, but if he only walks with me, he will never make it. We have been walking on the track at Heath school, and the treadmill at home (thanks for the loan Devon and Alanna!), and occasionally Wal-Mart, but he doesn't like Wal-Mart much because the floor is glossy and a little slick. Now that the weather is pretty nice, we have also been talking about taking a walk at the park.
If any of you are close enough and would like to help us with this goal, please let us know. We welcome any help you want to offer. And for those of you that are farther away, we appreciate your cheering and prayers more than you can ever know!

I would totally do it if we lived closer! Has anyone told you that we're going to be in Idaho the same week as you? The kids are pretty excited! Anyway, keep up the good work, Pat! We love you!
