To Walk. As many of you know, my sister and I have been trying to live a healthier lifestyle. We joined The Greater Greenville Shrinkdown, we joined the local YMCA, and now we've signed up for a MS Walk. The walk benefits the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. We chose this society to walk for because it really hit close to home. While we don't suffer from MS, or have any family of friends that do, we were moved by the way it attacks people in the prime of their life..between the ages of 20 and 50! One new case of MS is diagnosed every hour. It comes and goes unpredictably, leaving those with MS to wonder if they will become paralyzed, blind, or have trouble walking. It is a devastating disease but there are promising treatments on the horizon. The contributions to this walk will give the National Multiple Sclerosis Society more money for services, programs, and research for people with MS. I present this snippet of information to you in hopes that you too will be moved to help. I have set a pretty modest fundraising goal, it being my first real attempt to participate in a walk without an entire school group involved. I hope to raise 200 dollars by the time of the walk on March 25th. If you feel moved to support MS research and programs, or to support me in this venture of fitness I would greatly appreciate any donations you're able to make to my walk. I will include a MS site link on this page that you can use to go to my MS page to make a contribution online. Even if you aren't able, or don't want to donate, there is a lot of great information on the site about Multiple Sclerosis and the work of the National MS society, I invite you to check it out. Thanks!

***The MS Walk went great!!! It was a very chilly Saturday morning, but my sister and I had a great time and really felt that we were able to help a great cause. We walked with and talked with several people that are afflicted with MS and we really learned alot about the devastating disease and recent advancements. I ended up raising $100. Thank so all of you that helped! Jenny raised $180, so together we raised $280 for MS!!! I think we are probably going to do it again next year.***
