On Saturday, November 6 150 walkers gathered in the Grayson Lakes Community in support of 3-year-old Lucille Lorraine Schuler.  All dressed in pink “I Love Lucy” T-shirts, each walker came out in support of Lucy, who has been battling leukemia since being diagnosed in April 2010.

The “I Love Lucy” 5K walk was organized by Lucy’s aunt and uncle, Nicole Istre and Tom Voss, and was made successful by friends and family volunteers who posted signs along the course; the Willowfork Fire Department who positioned a fire engine at the start of the 5K in support; people unable to attend, but who registered in support; Girl Scouts who manned water stops along the route; Boy Scouts who took down the signs after the event; a local HEB store that donated bottles of water and snacks; and a local Fuddruckers that offered to donate a percentage of profits from their lunch sales to Lucy and her family.
