The Journey of the Johnsons: Walk for Field!

A few weeks ago I was playing around on my computer while Field was sleeping and came across the American Heart Association Heart Walk that will be in San Antonio on Saturday, November 6th. I immediately signed up "Team Field" and was ready to get all of our friends and family on board for the walk in honor of sweet Field. Then I realized I was being way over ambitious - the walk is in just a few weeks and I am a busy new mommy and also attending graduate school. I don't have time to get this organized! So I decided that Brad, Field, and I would walk in it and then maybe next year we could make it into a bigger event. God is so good, because He knew this was something I wanted but just didn't have the time to put together. Not just a day later and I got an email from one of my very best friends, Courtney, saying that she would like to put together a team to walk in honor of Field. Wow! I told her I had already set up a team and she took over from there.

To our local SA friends, please do not feel obligated in any way to join us, but I wanted to pass along the information just in case. Thank you, Court, for putting this together!

Dear Family and Friends of the Johnsons,
The American Heart Association will be having its annual Start! Heart Walk in San Antonio on Saturday, November 6th.

We are forming a team in honor and support of Field Johnson and would love for you all to join us! The event is FREE and if you would like to make a donation to the American Heart Association in honor of Team Field you can do so when you sign up on the website. All money raised goes to the American Heart Association to help support research, education and advocacy for heart issues including congenital heart defects. You can simply join our team and come walk to show your support or you may also get others to support you in your walk by making donations. Our team goal is $1,000 and I have no doubt that we will reach it quickly!

The walk details are below:

I will send more details to those who join the team as the walk gets closer and we will meet and walk together with Lisa, Brad and Field! Thank you for supporting such a wonderful cause that is so dear to our HEARTS! I know it will mean a lot to Lisa, Brad, Field and their families.

Thank you ALL so much! I just checked the Heart Walk Team Field page and saw that we already met our goal of raising $1,000 for the American Heart Association. Thank you ALL so much! We are honored and blessed by your love, support, and friendship. And we hope that our money raised will go on to help support CHD awareness and research for future families like ours. And on that note, stay tuned for another event in honor of Field. My sister and I are in the works of putting together a special event to raise money for CHD research and awareness. It won't happen for another year or so, but we are super excited about it!
