MS Walk

Dad and I just finished the MS Walk. Actually we walked yesterday but we went to a different site today. Yesterday we walked at Legoland. It is an amusement park with everything made of legos. It was pretty neat to see how creative they were. There was a very large dragon that was so colorful and realistic but made of legos. Fantastic! The walk by the way had about 3,000 people.

Today it was onto San Diego. This is their largest walk. There was over 5,000 people and many dogs, and kids, and babies in strollers, and the different teams with the different shirts or makeup or hats. It was amazing how many people turned out. I don't know how much was raised yet. Last year the walks brought in about 2 million. I know they wanted to do more.

Dad and I did not walk today but stayed at a booth for the Champions Against MS. This booth is set up for people who do not have a connection to anyone with MS and would like to know who they can walk for. A team came to the booth and asked for someone and I was chosen. Someone else placed my name on the Wall of Hope. Usually the Society will send out stories of the Champions to the teams or others who want to walk for someone but do not know anyone. The story gives the person or persons a little background on the person, when they were diagnosed, etc. I have been a Champion for about 3 years now.

Thank you Jon for doing the bike ride. Someday there will be a cure.
