The BRICK team at 2011 Shamu & You Family Walk.
Shamu & You Family Walk is a fund-raiser put on by Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego at SeaWorld.  All donations raised will benefit Rady  Children's Hospital.  The BRICK-Brain Research In Cancer Kids team has designated the Brain Tumor Research fund to receive all of its team member donations.

Last year's walk was fabulous.  We strolled through SeaWorld and saw many animals out with their handlers.  The main part of the walk is a one mile loop through SeaWorld bringing you back to the Start/Finish line.  For those who wish, you can continue walking along Mission Bay for 3 more miles - finishing back at the Start/Finish line.  The entire 4 miles is wheelchair/stroller friendly.  At the Start/Finish line after the walk there are many booths with free food and give-aways.  It's a fun morning.

How you can get involved
We are encouraging everyone to register as a walker on the team.  100% of the registration fees go to the Brain Tumor Research fund.  If you can't attend the event, then you can sign up as a "virtual walker".  All registered walkers can then go out and get sponsors - thus increasing the total raised for the team and Brain Tumor Research.  The challenge is for each walker to ask 10 people to sponsor them at $10 each.  There are prizes to be earned for those who raise certain dollar amounts.

If you would like to support our team, but do not want to register as a walker, then you can still sponsor someone else who is a walker on the team.  - Instructions below.

BRICK has pledged to raise $30,000 over the next five years and recruiting walkers and sponsors for our team is one of our funding sources.  If you want to sponsor a walker and support BRICK's goal, then any member of the Fountain family would be happy to receive your donation.  Cecillia, Jason, and Les Fountain each have a goal to raise $500 to earn the SeaWorld Silver Passport prizes.

In honor of my nephew Les Fountain and all of the help that his sweet parents try to do to help others, I want to support them in their efforts.
