Saturday. In The Park.

My daughter and I did a charity walk this morning.

It was the perfect day for it.

Even got a bit chilly after a while.

Like, actual fall temperatures chilly.

And look at those colors.

It even LOOKS like fall here in North Carolina.

Shocking, I know!

Now - the important stuff - why did we walk?

We walked today in support of UNC Children's Hospital.

I'm a member of the UNC Children's Hospital Digital Influencer Advisory Board, and this is the first time I've been able to stand up and be counted on behalf of this incredible community. I was so proud to participate - and thrilled to introduce my daughter to the incredible work that UNC Children's does for the families they support.

Today's walk for #UNCChildrenshospital was a lot of fun. It was chilly and overcast, but no rain! The kiddo and I enjoyed wandering around the #Raleigh course and then returning to the park for face painting and bouncing around. It's not too late to help #SupportUNCKids - let me know if you'd like to contribute and I'll direct you to our donation page! #motherhood #parenting #365feministselfie #fitnessselfie #fitspiration 👟 #itsfallyall 🍁🍂🍃🌾#longhairdontcare #happinessis #familyselfie

UNC Children's is a top-tier academic medical center that works to deliver world-class family-centered care to all families - regardless of their ability to pay. 

You can still make a donation to support the every day efforts of UNC Children's Hospital, whether you do so through my fundraising page or their general website.

And I know this is an abbreviated post, but in all honesty? I should have written it earlier.

And?

I'm tired.

But to wrap it up I say thanks to my friend Lisa of A Daily Pinch for inviting me to be part of this advisory board and the event. It's a privilege to be considered for such an opportunity, and I look forward to spending more time introducing you to the incredible community that is UNC Children's in the future.

P.S. Here's a quick pic of me with Lisa today. It's been years since I've seen her, so a hug and some quality chat time was required!
