Walk for MS 2012

On Saturday morning, Baby Bear and daddy joined Team The J Crew to participate in the MS Walk. We walked last year. Actually, Baby Bear sat in the stroller while daddy and I walked. This year, I was out of town for a conference, but that didn't stop our family for walking for this important cause and supporting our dear friend, John.



While I was not able to be physically present at the walk with my friends and family. I did run a 5K at the hotel fitness center. So I was there in spirit with them.

I am told that Jordyn did an amazing job and actually walked about 2/3 of the 5K until she finally got tired and had daddy carried her the rest of the way. He was actually pretty impressed that she walked as far as she did; he had expected to carry her for much more of the walk.

A little tired after her long walk. Daddy told me she had a really great nap that afternoon.



When I got home that afternoon, Baby Bear told me about walking. Apparently, she was pretty proud of herself as well. I am proud of my family.

MS Walk 2011: Team The J Crew

Today we as a family participated in the MS Walk 2011 Inland Empire. As a family we raised a total of $570. Thank you to all our wonderful family and friends who gave to such a great cause. As a team we raised over $7000!! Isn't that awesome!!

This was a very special walk for us because just a months ago, my close friend, John, was diagnosed with MS.



I have known John since high school and we have remained friends through all these years. There is a reason why we remain friends, he is a wonderful person. Through college he was one of a few of my high school friends that visited me at college. He was like a big brother who went to check in on his little sister while she was away at college, I always knew I could count on him.

His beautiful and supportive wife led our team to raise all that money for the National MS Society. She is awesome!
