This Saturday, May 14, RESOLVE is hosting a Walk of Hope in Atlanta, Georgia. So often we say to ourselves, “Where’s our walk?” Well… here it is! In addition to being a great fundraiser for the folks at RESOLVE, the Walk of Hope provides a chance to very publicly raise awareness for an otherwise very private disease. It’s exactly the kind of event the infertility community needs. And if you’re feeling brave enough, Kim over at The Ladies in Waiting Book Club has come up with a very creative way for you to participate without having to even go to Atlanta.
Kim and her team will be walking on Saturday in Atlanta, and they want to walk for you too:
May we walk for you?
My team and I would like to collect names from you (first, or last, or even just your screen name – doesn’t matter to us!). On the day of the Walk, we’ll take this list of names and write them on our t-shirts before the walk begins. We’d love to represent you along with our own families of two, no matter where you are on your journey. We hope to have our t-shirts completely covered in the names of the many infertile families we wish to represent.
To particpate, simply leave your name (however you wish it to be listed) in a comment to Kim’s post about their Walk of Hope project here. Once you’ve added your name – and I hope you will! – why not consider posting about it on Facebook or Twitter? Here’s a sample tweet:

@Hope. We got your name! :o)
@Keiko. We've received a bunch more names and are very excited. I started a list on the right side menu with all of the names so far!

Thanks for blogging about this! I added my name to the list. 🙂
