MS Walk

This past Saturday me and Josh volunteered for the Enerflex MS Walk down in the riverbottom. It was actually a lot of fun. It really amazed me how many people had volunteered and how many people were walking/running and how much money was raised for MS. So awesome! It really didn’t take a lot of our time…just a half hour meeting on the Wednesday before and then on the day of the walk we were there from 8:00 to 12:30. We met some nice people, helped out a good cause and got to do something different for a change. The start/finish line was at Fort Whoop Up, and that’s where all the sponsor tents, the DJ, the food tables and the information booths were set up. There was all kinds of yummy food for us to eat too so that was nice, cinnabuns, fruit, donuts and pizza!


They even had the fort rooms opened up so we could see the armory rooms and some of the sleeping quarters and the kitchen. Really neat, I haven’t been to the Fort since I was in elementary so it was really cool.
For the actual volunteer part we were checkpoint sitters and we were sitting right near the High Level Bridge handing out water and cheering people on. Not a bad job at all and we had plenty of time to sit and talk about all the future plans for the house, the garage and our future family :)


This was a really great day and we felt really good after having spent some time volunteering! We are definitely going to do it again next year, and we are looking for other ways to volunteer, including the Relay for Life which we are going to try to do this year too!

Days until the end of my 101 things in 1001 days!
