Will you walk for me?

WILL YOU WALK FOR ME??
When Meghan was diagnosed with Hydrocephalus, we knew we wanted to do what we can to find a cure.  We found a wonderful organization called Hydrocephalus Association.  One of the ways HA raises money for education and research is by setting up walks all over the country.  We would like to support this organization financially by participating in their walk.  Minnesota's HA 2013 walk will be held on Sunday, September 15, in Rogers, Minnesota.  Anyone is welcome to walk with Team Meghan!!  If you would like to walk with us, you will need to register online at http://walk4hydro.kintera.org/faf/search/searchTeamPart.asp?ievent=1077849&lis=0&kntae1077849=0D4E954D632D4981A2CF781E6E025D35&team=5568491.
When you click the link, it will bring you directly to the Team Meghan page.  Click on the Register Here icon on the top left of the team page.  On the next screen, chose the "I Agree" button.  Then, choose the option that best suits you (do not click the Join as an individual option).  Then, click the down arrow and chose Team Meghan.  When registering yourself, or your family, you will need to know the following info on Meghan: Her birth year is 2011, she has Congenital Hydrocephalus and she was diagnosed at 9 months.  If you are registering as a family, there is an area on the registration page for registering notes.  You can type in all the members of your family who will be walking in that info box.  Once you are registered, you will receive a confirmation email.  If you are unable to walk with our team but would like to donate, just click on the above link and choose the donate now icon on the top right of the screen.  Please let me know if you are having any problems registering.  This is the first time we've registered Team Meghan as a walking team so this is all new to me :)  There is no fee to walk!  If you raise $50, you will earn a free HA walk t-shirt!  Our team goal is to raise $500!  Please help us meet our goal so we can provide money for the HA to conduct research to find a cure for Hydrocephalus!  My sweet little girl, along with SO many others needs a cure!  ***Shirt orders are due by July 31st!***

We would like to have all of the Team Meghan walkers sporting the Team Meghan hydro shirts on the day of the walk.  If you would like to walk and do not have a shirt but would like one, let me know and we'll order you a shirt!  If you prefer not to purchase a shirt but would like to walk, we ask that you wear a blue shirt - if at all possible.
