Update...

We are planning on having some of the kids make bracelets for all of the kids that participate in the walk.



You know, the string kind that the kids are making now. I bought embroidery floss at AC Moore for only .36 ea. of the little skiens of floss. Currently, I have 7 of the orange and 7 of the green, but I think I will need more. If you happen to stop at your local craft store and would like to pick some up that would be great. We are using DMC floss #740 (or 971) orange and #907 green.



We can also sell them at our events (bake sales, spirit nites, more info. to follow) along with the rubber bracelets we will be purchasing from the MS Society. This is a great way to get some of the kids involved and feel like they are active participants :)

First Day of Our Team Blog!

Ok, well be gentle with me...I have never used a blog and here I am creating one! My "hip" friends would say I need to get with the program, but hey! you have to start somewhere.


Anyway, I wanted to create this blog for our team members and to those who have donated either their time and/or their $$$ to the Walk MS event. I am so happy to be putting this team team together along with my friend, Kim!


Our team was started to support of our friend, Melissa, who has just recently been diagnosed with Mulitple Sclerosis. It has been a difficult few months for her, but if you know Mel, you know she is tough as nails...most of the time :P



Supporting this cause has always been something I have considered. My aunt was diagnosed with MS in her early 30's and she is now into her 60's. It has been difficult for her and her family without a doubt. And with Melissa's recent diagnosis, it gave me the swift kick to get the ball rolling.


I would love to see this blog become a place for us to touch base with one another, share info., share stories, and share updates. All is good, keep it positive and enjoy!!!
