Go Team Claire-Bear!

This year I decided that I wanted to try something different for the benefit of others. I have a friend whose niece has epilepsy. She invited me to walk with her in the National Walk for Epilepsy. It is the second year that they have had a walk for Epilepsy. The cherry blossoms were in bloom.
There were about 4,000 people there for the walk. People could also do a "virtual" walk if they wanted.
Greg Grunberg, from Heroes, was there as a spokesperson for epilepsy. He told the story of his son who suffers from epilepsy. I love this picture because of the US Capitol behind him.
It was a really good experience and made me think outside of myself and my little box. It was so cold, and of course I didn't bring a coat, but all in all it was a good time.
