I LOVE IT!!!
I am amazed at how everything has come together this year. Last year I signed up to do the walk with very little time to really get into the fundraising and helping bring awareness about MS. This year I feel like I really accomplished something.
Every time someone signed up to walk with my team I would get an e-mail and it was so cool to see all the people that committed to walking with us. I have people on my team that I have not even met yet, but they are coming out tomorrow to help fight MS. Some people I have not talked to in years. Lots of friends and family I usually only see if there is a wedding or a funeral, children are going to be all decked out in orange, we even have a few babies that will be walking with us making this their 1st fundraising walk. It gives me chills just thinking how many people will be there tomorrow to support not only me, but the thousands of other people that suffer from MS.
We are just a few dollars away from raising $4,000.00 and that will all be going to help fund research to hopefully find a cure for MS. It is astonishing how giving people are. How generous people have been with their time, money and talents to raise money.
I think the best thing that has come out of MS walk 2012 is the awareness that we are raising about this disease. Before I was diagnosed I knew very little about it. Now I get excited when people ask me about MS, how it feels, what it is and what they can do to help.
Going to go and lace up my tennis shoes in blazing orange laces!!!
