Today me, Dan and one of my best friends, Alicia, joined the team (of some long time family friends of mine Collette, Dave, & Natasha), the MS Angels, for the 2007 Multiple Sclerosis walk. We walked in honor of my dad who was diagnosed with MS 15 years ago.
It's the middle of April and we had to deal with temps in the 30's! On top of that was random spurts of sleet, snow, and rain!! It was definitely not the ideal weather, (especially for walking/running outside!) but it was all worth it. I hope next year it's a lot nicer so my dad can walk with all of us!
Thank you to those who sponsored me and the rest of the MS Angels! I appreciate it and I'm sure all of those who have been diagnosed, as well as their families, appreciate too!
Here are a few pictures of the fun!

Dan at the finish line. Geek!
Me at the finish line. Weirdo!
After the walk Dan, Alicia, & I enjoyed a wonderful lunch at our favorite restaurant, McAlister's. Back when I met Dan, the first time I actually called him was when Alicia and I were eating at McAlister's (like that is a shocker for us! All we ever do is eat .. and it's normally there). So we sat in the same booth where Alicia & I sat years ago, ate way too much food and took tons of random pictures.
Nachos bigger than Alicia.

Alicia and her boyfriend, (imaginary). haha! How cute are they? <3

Thank-you for walking, and thank-you to your sponsors for their donations to finding a cure for MS. Your generous spirit, kind soul, sense of humor, and your debate team ability, are soooo much a part of what keeps Dad in balance for a normal and decent day, as he battles this terrible disease. You are a blessing to us all!!!
Those are some fun pictures!!!! I am glad you had a good time!!!
awesome, thanks for sharing that. Though I don't personally know you other than from blogs/website/forums, I can tell you have a very generous and kind spirit about you (not to mention your awesome-ness with a camera!!) I'm sure your dad (and the rest of the family) is quite proud!!
P.s. love those red shoes, I have a red pair of sneaks that look similar, mine are Pumas.
