I have never but really want to. The local MS walk was cancelled last year due to a lack of a coordinator. I live in a small city in northern Alberta and the local branch of the MS Society is volunteer run. I have never gotten involved but am considering it. There is a wonderful two day walk on Cape Cod that I have read about. I would love to do that one someday.
I participated last year. It was a small event and I collected a lot of information. It made me feel good to walk for sure.
I did it very last minute and managed to raise $850. I recommend it if you can do it.
This year I am not feeling as well and not going to push myself to do it.
I will do it again when things are a bit more stable.
I bet it would be really a good time in SF. I say go for it.

Polly and I are going to be on a team. Last year the whole thing was in a parking lot and hot so who knows.

I am walking for MS this year for the first time. There are a number of them scheduled in various cities in my state (Washington), so I am participating in the one closest to me.

Maybe I'll see you! I live closer to Santa Cruz, but I plan on walking with a couple of folks from my MS support group from Palo Alto.
Last September I came close to riding one of the shorter legs of the Waves to Wine bike ride, but it was too darned hot, so I bailed.

This will be my first year to walk ...the local walk is April 17. Sometime in the coming month I will add some details in a journal - There are big plans brewing that I hope will come off.
my best,

I did the read-a-thon as a kid, but never the walk. My area (Ontario) has five bike treks for MS, which I had to miss out on last year because I just wasn't well enough to ride, but with any luck I can train for them this summer. We'll see! Otherwise, perhaps the walk.
To all those who walk/bike for MS this year, make sure to let us know and give us the opportunity to sponsor you!
I will be participating. I can't walk in it so my family will push me in the wheelchair. I'm not chairbound but just can't walk like that. It's awesome and I recommend it for anyone who can do it. Last year was my first time and the weather was beautiful. I soaked up the sunrays which I definitely needed.
I do! And, I do it for all who can't. So, for those who can't make it for one reason or another, no worries- rest of us got you covered!

I participated one year, but after I went, I was turned off by the relentless letters and e-mails asking for donations. I've put them in my spam folder for now.
