2008 MS Walk

On Sunday, our family participated in the 2008 MS Walk in Annapolis. This is our 3rd year walking. The weather was less than ideal with cold wind and rain, but I am proud to say that we had almost 900 people participate in this years walk. Had the weather been better, we would have brought Emma out too, but it was just too nasty. Grammy Nicholas was nice enough to stay home with her where she could stay warm and dry.

I would like to thank everyone who participated and who raised money, and to all who donated to us. We are so blessed to have such great friends and family who care so deeply about our cause. With your help, our team raised $4175.00 as of yesterday.

Every year at the walks, one person is chosen to be the Walk Ambassador. This year, Joe was chosen. He gave a lovely speech at the start of the walk and got to cut the ribbon at the start line. Here are just a couple pictures that my sister- in- law took.

Thank you again to everyone who was part of our team. We are so thankful for each and every one of you. Thanks for putting us one step closer to a world free of MS!!
