MS Walk 2007

MS 5K Walk Orlando (Lake Eola) March 24, 2007

Well today we completed the first MS Walk event since Michele was diagnosed in November of 2006. To all those who donated thank you so very much. The average person raises $160.00 in donations, because of your generosity and caring Michele Raised $1070.00 and I raised $956.00. Lindsay brought along her "cherade box" from bad word money collected at home over the last few months and has $13.67 (daddy loaded the box to cover his many indiscretions ), for a total from us 3 of $2039.67.

Today for Michele at the walk was:
Myself
Michele
Lindsay
Suzanne (Michele's Sister)
Jim (Suzanne's Boyfriend)
Diane & Teresa from my company (California and Texas respectively)
Theo (Works for me in Orlando)
Stella (Theo's fiancee)

Diane and Teresa made special arrangements to be here, as this and other charity causes are near and dear to them for various reasons. This meant a lot to Michele and I that they would travel so far.

Everyone else joining us, made the day enjoyable and special as this is the first of many events for Michele and all other MS patients and families.

Here are some pictures from today:
