Team SpenWen takes walk around Jupiter park

Susan Spencer-Wendel sits surrounded by her SpenWen teammates.
About 50 of Susan Spencer-Wendel's relatives, friends and former co-workers gathered Saturday for a mid-morning walk through Jupiter's Carlin Park.

Walking as Team SpenWen, we raised over $15,000 for ALS Research. Susan who was diagnosed with ALS in June 2011 paid for the team T-shirts as a way of thanking those who joined the walk in her honor.

Susan spent last summer writing her memoir "Until I Say Goodbye" on her iPhone using only her right thumb. It will debut on the March 31 New York Times bestseller list as No. 3 in the hardcover non-fiction category and No. 2 for nonfiction ebooks. She spent her past year making memories with her family and friends.
