Chances are slim that we’d pass the one flag we want to carry in Kim’s memory and we got it on the first day before lunch even!

Awesome picture! Congrats on getting the flag!
that’s pretty cool but I don’t get it?? do you get to pick up any flag you want? are they bunches of them on the side of the road?
Dana, I think I explained the flag thing on Facebook for ya but I’ll do it again on here for others. At opening ceremonies there are a dozen or more flags that are brought out with names like Mother, Sister, Grandparents, Father, My Children, Best Friends, etc. to represent who you are walking for. One person carries the flag out of opening ceremonies but the flag is passed throughout the day. There is no rhyme or reason when or to whom it is passed, but just that different people are able to carry with them the flag representing their motivation/reason for walking. Gayle got the Best Friend’s flag last year on day 3 and she got it the first day this year!
