2008 Light the Night Walk - Atlanta
This past Saturday was the 2008 Light the Night Walk in Atlanta. The day started with a surprise visit by some of my closest friends, Chris and Laura Herron, who drove all the way from Columbia to spend the day with me! Lori Tvarkunas, Brandon Lacey, and Rob Stanfield also surprised me as well. This added to my original crew of my husband Ben, Steve and Linda Stephenson, Kristen and Matt Stephenson and my Mom and Dad. We all watched the Carolina-Kentucky game over at Kristen and Matt's house (thank goodness we won, go cocks!) and then headed downtown to Centennial Olympic Park. The weather was perfect, and we were on Ben's Enterprise Rent-A-Car Team of about 200 walkers. I had never participated in a charity event before, but I will never miss another one of these walks. It was so awesome to see how many people came out to show support - I think around 12,000 people were there and together raised over $1 million. It's really something to see all of those balloons lighting up simultaneously. I want to thank everyone who was there supporting me, and thank you to Kristen and Matt for organizing and hosting Saturday's surprise for me. I have the best family and friends anyone could ever ask for.
Love you all!

It was a fantastic weekend! Mr. Steve and I were so honored to be able to be there to walk with you. Saturday afternoon at Matt and Kristen's house was a blast even though my Cats lost. These pictures are great! Keep up the good work, Kerri! We love you! Love, Mrs. Linda
It was great to be with everyone; Matt-Kristen, thanks for the awesome food and hospitality; Linda-Steve, thanks for your support and love as well, Linda-your potato salad was pretty special, sorry the "Blue" team didn't win for you!
Thanks to all of Kerri's friends who really surprised and added to her day and "light the night"

Wow! What a strong and amazing family that I have. I wish I could have been there with you guys this weekend, but you all were in our thoughts. The pictures are wonderful!!! It looks as though you all had a great time for a wonderful cause. We also do Light the Night here in Roanoke as well. I hope to get a team together and do it here.
