I’ve never been the captain of anything in my life, so this is pretty cool:
The Memory Walk, 2004 Team, “Stars Trekking For Jimmy Doohan,” was inspired by the heart-felt and powerful messages made by Star Trek actors during the Farewell Dinner and celebration for James “Scotty” Doohan, on August 28th of this year.
To show our support for our beloved Jimmy Doohan a small group of fans teamed-up with the Alzheimer’s Association of Southern California to participate in the Walk on October 2nd and raise money to fight this debilitating disease.
Naturally, we simply had to recruit one of the more impressive speakers from the Tribute Dinner to be our Honorary Captain – Wil Wheaton.
(Is nobody going to say it? — ‘Captain Wesley Crusher, reporting for
duty!’)
I am going to be a Gnomedex on the 2nd, so I can’t actually head down there and do my best R. Lee Ermey impression, but I’m honored just the same. Will any SoCal area WWdN readers step up, and represent? It would be SO COOL if we could get a posse out there to support this team. You can find out more about the team at our official homepage: Stars Trekking for Jimmy Doohan.

OK, I just made a donation. It’s really easy. So here’s a challenge! All WWdn members and fans give to the walk in honor of James Doohan. Let’s show the community and “Scotty’s” friends, how powerful, compassionate and generous we are! Make sure you indicate Wil or WWdn.
I can’t go. But if a large group of WWdN members go, I’ll sponsor/pledge. How will this work?

For those of us who are not close enough to SoCal to participate in Will’s walk, I have come up with a good idea. On the Memory Walk website, you can locate a walk in your area or state. If we could find walks near us that also take place on October 2nd, we could begin a nation wide walk for Jimmy Doohan. We may be the only ones who realize that we’re doing this, but surely that’s good enough. I encourage you all to find a walk near you and join in. What better thing could you do on a Saturday?
Greetings all! This is truly my first visit to Wil’s site and I just wanted to say that I’ve already signed up for the Walk and Joined the Team too! I’m looking forward to the walk this coming Sunday, and I thank all of you for your support and good thoughts as well.
Thank you Wil for spreading the word as well!
See you round the galaxy!
