#28 National Multiple Sclerosis Society

On Saturday I was able to join the National MS Society in its annual 5k walk/run in Grand Haven Michigan. I arrived early Saturday morning along with many other volunteers to set up and prepare for the walk. I assisted with building the balloon arch which all the participants passed under as they headed out on their walk and then again as they completed the walk. The participants raised funds in advance of the walk which will be used to fund future research and programs to assist those affected by MS. I assisted with the registration activities prior to the walk. Once the participants headed out on their 5k, we tore down registration tables and then reset them for participants to enjoy refreshments following their return from the 5k. It was magical to see all the people who showed up to support this organization. From children in strollers, to young kids, to highschoolers, to college fraternity brothers, to families, to the elderly.......people from all walks of life were there to honor their loved ones. You could feel the love and pride as they spoke of their loved ones to other participants and volunteers alike. I was happy to be a part. If you would like to join in this movement in the future, please contact them at http://www.nationalmssociety.org/get-involved/volunteer/index.aspx There are many ways to get involved and be the difference. :)
