I don’t remember what I was looking for, but over the weekend I inadvertently stumbled on this Web page listing the teams from the recent Walk for Life, with what I take to be their total amounts raised.
And as I skimmed down the alphabetical list, I saw that “Brad’s Bloggers” had the highest total — $982 — up to that point in the alphabet. (We were 22nd on the list.)
Hey, I knew we had done pretty well — largely thanks to Doug Ross — but this intrigued me enough to run down the whole list and see how many teams raised more than we did.
And there were only 17 teams that did better, out of more than 300 teams. (I counted twice. One time I got 314, the next time I got 304. So I just decided to call it “more than 300,” because I’ve got work to do.)
How about that? And we got a late start. Just think what we could do next year, if we’re just a little better organized.
Anyway, here’s my list of the top 20 teams (if I missed anybody in my quick skim, I apologize):
- The Pink Posse — $19,741
- Pink for Michelle — $3,900
- Steps for Steph — $3,728
- Cancer Crushers — $3,715
- Keenan Suggs — $2,531.65
- Team TWC — $2,522.50
- Irmo/Lexington Curves — $2,270
- SCBT — $2,105
- Positively Pink — $1,730
- Lizard’s Thicket — $1,620
- Edens & Avant — $1,540
- University of Phoenix Columbia Campus… — $1,153
- KICK — $1,137
- SCANA Legal/Legal Regulatory/Environmental Team… — $1,100
- Richland One SNS Boob Buddies — $1,071
- Mt. Herman Walkers — $1,005
- The Ta-tinis — $1,003
- Brad’s Bloggers — $982
- Richland One – Forest Heights Deb’s Team… — $900
- Crusaders for the Cure — $885

OK, wait a sec… this list may not be complete. For instance, I know my wife’s team raised $480, and I don’t see her team on the list at all. So maybe we didn’t come in 18th. But we did pretty well, anyway…
Thanks, Doug and Brad!
Some things are universally worth supporting. And it was good to see the virtual morph into reality, especially for a good cause.
We are the blog; we are the blog; we are, we are, we are the blog.

So how’s about some of you sign up to ring the bell with me at Green’s liquors for the Salvation Army?
