Multiple Sclerosis Challenge Walk: Success!

My good friend Fran walked the MS Challenge Walk--50 miles in three days in beautiful Door County, Wisconsin. Here is Fran's recap in her own words:

"I did it! Thank you for supporting my fundraising goal to participate in the MS Challenge Walk. It was an incredible experience - even magical. (During) Friday's 20 mile walk, I didn't even know I was toward the front because I didn't see anyone in front or behind me for 15 miles! Took photos, got lost in thought, and savored every minute. Turns out I finished 5th. There were about 100 walkers for this inaugural Challenge Walk.
Saturday's 20-mile walk had me a little concerned - I walk and trained, but never two 20 mile walks back to back! Well... I finished FIRST! The Director had me lead out all those with MS after dinner for a candlelight ceremony. It wasn't a race - but it was neat to set a secondary goal and make it!
Sunday was a staggered start - so we all met up after lunch and walked the final 1/2 mile together as one big team. They had me and a young woman whose mother died of MS in May and she also was diagnosed when she was only 20 - carry the Walkers with MS banner to lead the whole group to the final finish line. It was quite emotional
I have attached the photo flyer I made up of some of the sights I saw along the 50 mile route in Door County."
