The Date:  September 5, 2017

The Lake:  Lake Wingra, Madison, WI

The Companion:  Lola

The Distance:  1.15 miles

The Best Part: As we walked through the tree-lined Edgewood Drive, we can catch glimpses of the lake through the sunrise dappled woods.  Of course, there were lots of smells that kept Lola busy as well.










The Shirt:  From the 2012 Safe Harbor run/walk that happens each Labor Day.  Lola and I actually saw them setting up yesterday when we were on our walk.  Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center advocates for children who are victims of abuse or neglect or witnesses of crimes by coordinating multi-disciplinary investigations, conducting forensic interviews in a child-friendly environment, and more.  Children who have experienced complex trauma often have difficulty identifying, expressing, and managing emotions, and may have limited language for feeling states. Through its work, Safe Harbor helps uncover what happened and lessen long-term impact.
