Update from the 2008 Greenville National MS Society Walk


What an amazing day it was this past Sunday. The weather was perfect, the people were enthused, and the cause was there. The picture to the left kind of says it all. I am in the back row, all the way to the left with my wife just in front of me and to my right.

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that has struck as close to home for me as possible. For those who do not know, my mother was diagnosed with this disease about nine (9) years ago.

Since my wife and I moved to South Carolina, we have been blessed to meet two wonderful friends from New York, one of whom was also diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Events like the walk this past week really give me a pause for thought as to what things are important in life. Family, friends, and all that goes with them.

Going forward, this Blog will be used as a proactive tool to help promote health and fitness as well as a sounding board for the latest developments with the MS team my friends and I are working on assembling.

Feel free to post your comments. Be well.
