Ed has always inspired myself & others to do things to help others.
In January 2007, I joined my uncles Beaver & Dave & my friend Erin in climbing the stairs of the Aon Building (us girls did half the climb, guys did the full thing). This raised funds for the Children's Memorial Hospital.
These acts took on even more meaning after we lost Ed.
In October 2007 many of my family participated in a run/walk for the Wellness House in Hinsdale, IL. We started team R"Eddie" Set Go!!
The design Dave & I had come up with for my tatoo (above) - & then Allie's and Beaver's tatoo - became our team logo. The logo is a combination of Superman's symbol & Ed's name.
Superman was one of Ed's favorites & Ed is our own Superman.
On this page I will post information/pictures from past or future team events. I welcome you to join Team R"Eddie" Set Go! & add any acts of kindness to this page (no deed is too small or random as long as it helps another).
Wellness House Run/Walk 10/14/07
This was the first Team R"Eddie" Set Go! event. Alice had shirts with the logo & team name made for us & we wore them over the event shirts. We also had a number of signs with the logo posted along the route.
All the McNally's, Skelly's (I was still a Skelly then), Beaver's family, Alice & her Garry, & Dave ran or walked. Grandmommy was there to cheer us on & we also got to see MB & BB.
Ed's Up - Aeon Building climb 1/07
This was the first even I joined Dave & Beaver on. Also before team R"Eddie" Set Go! was started. After this climb, we had to hurry to look nice for my engagement party which Ed was at.
Pictured is Dave, Beaver, 2 of Dave's friends, my friend Erin & myself after climbing the stairs.
