Today was the Kennewick, WA Walk to End Alzheimer's, and I was awarded recognition as the #3 fundraiser for our area! Some of you contributed to that, and I thank you.
I was also a planning committee member and event photographer. I took two camera's, and Amy helped with shooting. I probably have around 500 pictures I now need to load on the computer and edit. I brought my drone, but the walk course was relatively near the airport, and I had trouble navigating the process to allow the drone to fly. I did get approval from the FAA to fly in the park between 1 and 3 p.m. and no higher than 200 feet. But I couldn't navigate the technology to tell the drone I was approved. (The drone has interlocks to keep it from flying in restricted air space without approvals.)
As a consequence of all of this, I didn't actually walk the whole course... But I've been working up to it, I was busy the whole time, and I have a lot yet to do to make the whole event a success for everyone.
Again, I am so grateful for all who contributed.
And BTW, it's not too late. For another month or so, you can still contribute to my "walk." Who knows, maybe I can still bump #2? He or she wasn't very far above me. If you want to help me rise in the ranks, click here.
