MS Walk
Today "Team Folley" took to the streets of Charlotte for the MS Walk. Mary and I really want to thank all of our friends who were able to come out and walk with us, as well as everyone who was able to contribute to the cause. If you're still looking to participate in the latter way, never fear: just click here.
I managed to walk the full 5 mile route, which was a bit of a triumph for me. Given my foot problems of the last few years, being able to go that far without pain was a huge personal victory, and evidence that the root cause of the problem has finally been identified and is being brought under control.
But more importantly, this event is a victory for everyone who has MS or knows someone with MS. In a more perfect world. research for a cure for diseases like MS would be part of the normal public health budget, but it's not. The research has to be paid for, which is why charity events like the MS Walk take place. So again, if you can, please consider making a donation.
