MS Walk 2008

Ok, so it is that time of the year again! On April 19th, I will be participating in the MS Walk here in Boise.

My aunt has had multiple sclerosis (MS) for as long as I can remember, but the disease hadn't affected me much until 3 years ago when my oldest sister was diagnosed. Now I am reminded all the time of the effects such a disease can have on someone.

The first time I saw my sister walking with a cane was when she was only 29 years old. Can you imagine having to use a cane when you hadn't even hit your 30th birthday yet?! Although there hasn't been a cure developed, doctors are getting closer and closer every year.

If you would like more information on MS, please look at the local Idaho Chapter's webpage.

Otherwise, please help me by making a donation or participating in the walk yourself! You can donate in my name at my personal fundraising webpage.

Also, there is a link to sign up for the walk on that webpage as well.

Thanks guys!

Andrea
