Raising Some Funds and Getting Some Exercise


A big THANK YOU to everyone who donated and sponsored me in the MS Walk: San Antonio.  While this report is a little late, I wanted to be sure and let you know how it went.  It was great!

The walk started as scheduled at 9:30 Saturday morning, March 7th.  My team members and I laced up our tennis shoes, put on or MS Walk t-shirts and hit the street.

They had the AT&T Center parking lot section off and plenty of volunteers telling us where to go, as well as handing us drinks and snacks.  With fairly agreeable weather, we, along with a few thousand others, started the walk.  Some overachievers even ran! There were all walks of like there.  Some people with MS, some without, husbands, wives, friends and other supporters.  Some local businesses joined together and had huge teams - all in matching t-shirts.  Lots of people brought their dogs.  I did.  Lola wanted to be a part of it all!

We completed our mile and were glad to do it.  After turning in our donations, the Mona Vie Energy Team drank a complimentary Powerade and called it a day.

Again, thank you for your support!  Our team raised $2750!!! How wonderful!  By teaming up like this and fundraising, we will enable the research it takes to achieve a cure for multiple sclerosis!

God bless you!
