What An Event!!

I am finally catching my breath from the weekends activities and wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you that supported Team Jensen!!  To date, we have raised about $5500!  This is awesome for a first year team.  The event as a whole (just the city of Lake Oswego) raised close to $70,000, which is just amazing!!  We had a great turn out the day of the event, despite the very hot temperatures.  A few people ended up with a little heat exhaustion, but fun was had by all.  The opening "Survivor" lap was very touching.  Grace hopped on the scooter with Ryan and with purple balloons following behind them, they made their way around the track.  The day was spent walking, drinking lots of water, visiting with lots of friends and family and many water fights (thanks for the special hair-do Alexis)!  The luminaria ceremony that evening was just beautiful and the lighted candles stayed lit until about 6am the next morning.  

Thank you thank you to our family that came from out of town (Jayna, Vince, Amy, Greg, April, Monte, Jamie, Craig, Sue, Arlea, Alexis, Marcus, Max, Abby, Ashton, Amelia, Olivia, Jordan, Michael, Veronica, Olivia).  It was great to see all of you and feel your love and support!

For our walkers and runners that braved the heat, we couldn't have done it without you!  Thank you to all that supported us by donating and helping the day of the event (Becky Cassidy, you are my hero)!!

There are tons of great pictures that I will share soon!

Love to you all-

Team Jensen-Keep Fighting!


We are just one day away from the big event!  Set up begins at 8am Saturday morning and the main event starts at 10am.  Ryan will be recognized in the "Survivor" lap that kicks off the day and then the "walking" begins!  It looks like it will be a hot one, so bring lots of sunscreen, cool clothing and water.  We will have a big cooler with drinks as well.  Here are some important times:

Saturday-
10am-Opening Ceremony & Survivor Lap
10am-1pm-Team Jensen Bounce House(s) fund-raiser
9:30pm-Luminaria Ceremony

Sunday-
8am-Pancake Breakfast
10am-Closing ceremony

There will be tons of things to do on Saturday and will be a fun event for adults and kids alike! Come out and spend a good part of your day with us....even if you aren't walking!  We would love to see you!  Look for the two Team Jensen camp spots near the stage.  

We hope to see you there!

One Week Away!


Check out the official "Team Jensen" logo! So cool, thanks Courtnie!! I am going to have some posters done up with the logo and hopefully be able to add it to our t-shirts.  

Relay is just about a week away!  I have the last team captain meeting on Monday and will update the site with some important information.  Relay starts at 10am on Saturday the 12th until 10am Sunday the 13th.  You are all invited to come for one hour, or the entire day!  We would like to host a barbecue on Sunday afternoon for our fabulous team.  Stay tuned for more details!

Happy 4th!
