Hi Gang :wave:
I've been up for what seems like forever and its only 5pm now. Got up early this morning 5am... :eek: Now thats huge for me.
The MS Society had a MS cycle day. I did the volunteer work for the day. I am truly exhusted but boy the feeling i had while i was there was fan- tastic!!
I was just telling my hubby that. I so wana do it again. I've decided to put my name on the list and try and do more. God willing.. I'll do it.
The goal was set at $350.000 today the figue reached $ 405.000. That is terrific, mind you not the final total either.
I cant ride a bike anymore, weak legs from MS. But i sure felt like i was part of it all today.
My way of saying thank you to all who raised money and was able to do the ride for 3 hours not just here in Melb but to everyone who does these events around the world... Thankyou thankyou thankyou.. :D xx.

my family and I are doing the MS walk in MA on April 4th. It will be our first year walking. My team has raised $800 and our goal was $500! I am excited. The date of the walk is also significant for me because it falls one day after my year anniversary of my diagnosis. I am looking foward to being with friends and family on that day. Any little bit we all can do to raise money and awareness for the disease will help.

Hi GG, long time no see! Congratulations on what you did. I did the walk last year, and it was awesome. A few people want to walk with me again this April, so I guess I'll do it again.

Bless you for volunteering for the event! I hope you're doing well; you certainly sound very invigorated!
