What is up in the West?: CHALLENGE WALK MS 2009

If you do not know I plan a 3-day 50-mile Challenge Walk for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This was my second year planning the event. In 2008 my mom joined as a super crew member, she had such a great time at the 2008 event and was so inspired by all the people who walked that she decided to walk with them in 2009.

Here is what she said, "Last year I was involved with the Challenge Walk by being a Super Crew Member. I raised the $ 2,500.00 so that I could do my part to help fight this disease. This year I will be training to actually walk in the event. I saw how people with MS were able to make the 50 miles last year, whether in a wheel chair or with a cane, they endured and if they can do it with MS I know that I can walk along side them and fight with them for a cure for them. "

Here are some pictures from the event.

Such an awesome walk along the San Diego coast (this is Powerhouse Park in Del Mar)

The lady on the left is our most insirpational Walker for 2009. As you can see she uses walking poles to assist her. She has MS and accomplished her second Challenge Walk event in 2009! 100 Miles down for her! She also raised over $13,000 in this tough economy! AWESOME!!
