MS Walk

Last Saturday we did the MS Walk with my work. It was so much fun! I'm so glad we participated in it.




Back: Nick, my sister Michelle, friend/co-worker Kim, and me
Front: Zoe, Sydney

When we crossed the finish line, they gave us all medals for completing the walk. Which, despite the look in the picture, Sydney was really excited to get one. As we walked farther along there were individuals with signs saying "Thank You!" and the year they were diagnosed with MS. I got really choked up seeing them. I'm so glad we took the time out of our day to donate our time and money to this great cause.

I wanted to do this so bad. I have two very close family members on my side and one on Travs side with MS. Thanks for doing it.

My younger sister was diagnosed with MS 8 years ago. It has been really hard for her, but she's a trooper! Thanks so much for doing this!

Heather, Very cute blog! It was so fun to get together last night. Our blog is: http://thebuttars.blogspot.com/ I didn't know Sydney had surgery, I am glad it went well. I am taking classes to become a Child Life Specialist where you use the dolls for preparation. I am glad the preparing helped her nerves.
