MS Walk Update

Much has been happening with the Many Steps to Fight MS team. Our team continues to grow, which is very exciting! Our youngest walker--or, stroller--is 5 months old! YOU are invited to join us, too!
In case you do not read the Northwest Blade or Faulkton Record (info will be running in Faulkton this week), I wanted to make sure my blog readers knew the latest news, too.
In addition to walking, our team is asking our supporters to help us honor and remember those with MS in another way. We are selling cardstock footprints for $5 each In Honor of or In Memory of the person of the donor's choice. These footprints will be displayed at the start of the walk.
You may order a footprint by contacting me (davidandlauramelius@yahoo.com), visiting the Aberdeen Family Physicians reception area, or going directly to the link below. If the link doesn't work, www.mymswalk.org will take you to the general MS Walk page. If you order online, please include your recipient's and your name, too, if you wish, in the box.

Something new this year is Team Village, which I imagine will be similar to the team areas at other events. Each team may decorate their tent in anyway they wish. I hope we are able to cover our tent and the ground surrounding it with these footprints.
The response has already been very heartwarming and encouraging. I realize we all choose different causes to support, so I understand if you cannot donate at this time. In that case, please pray for a successful MS Walk for all of the teams on May 9!
Thank you very much for helping us come MANY STEPS closer to a cure for Multiple Sclerosis.
