19 of 52--Walk for MS and flashback.

Before anymore time goes past, I need to post the pictures from our WALK FOR MS. This is the 2nd year I've done this, and this year I thought my two youngest girls might enjoy doing it with me, and they did! The walk was held on Apr. 25, should have been a lovely spring day...unfortunately it was a cold & windy day, not very nice for walking, but we bundled up good, & really had a fun time with our team! Before the walk we were treated to doughnuts (more incentive to walk?) hehe, and afterward they fed us pizza!
The first picture is my girls and I.

I've enjoyed seeing some other "flashback" photos. A couple weeks ago I found this picture, and decided that May, with mothers day & the girls birthdays was a good time to post it.
Around 26 years ago...

My sister made these matching nightgowns & caps for my 4 oldest girls. They were soft flannel, and passed down the line of sisters & then back forth with nieces too! Here's a picture of another one of my girls and her cousin wearing them also.

These 2 little girls turn 23 this month, and are all grown up with babies of their own. Emily & Dalayna are both in some of the pictures of my previous "reunion" post. HAPPY BIRTHDAY girls!!

For Katie, Courtney, Debbie & others!

Kimber, Becky, Elaine, Cyndie, Maxine & Misti
We joined the walk because of Cyndie. She has two daughters with MS, and each one of us know at least one other person who has MS! We've already decided that next year we're going to walk as a team, as this year we just signed up individually.
We had a great day for walking, it's just beautiful here. We also had a good time visiting, as social time with us all here is pretty limited!
ADDITIONALLY, THANK YOU FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DONATED IN MY NAME! Your contribution was appreciated!

MS Walk

Please do not feel in any way obligated, but I wanted to post this so you know what I'm doing, and if you do choose to support the MS society on my behalf, I thank you!

Dear Family and Friends,

I recently accepted the challenge to raise funds to support National MS Society. Please help support me in this important project by contributing. This has touched my life because of a dear friend with two daughters with MS and another dear friend who was diagnosed last year. That's the reason I have chosen to participate in the Kearney MS Walk.
I want to do something about multiple sclerosis now. Please help by supporting my upcoming Walk MS: Blue Cross Blue Shield 2008.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to moving us towards a world free of MS. They fund research into effective MS therapies and also help people with MS to live powerful, meaningful lives. I believe in the work they do.For information about this volunteer fund raiser and its programs, you can visit http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer .
