So, it must have been hotter earlier. The good news is that, once I rested in the shade for a while, I was able to continue on with the remainder of the 7.5 mile route, making my total distance covered during the walk slightly over 8 miles. While I was initially disappointed at not walking the full 12.5, I found out today that none of my other team-mates did it, either. The MS WALK proceeds are allocated to support people with MS and help them and their families better cope with the disease. The NYC Chapter provides counseling, education, home care, rehabilitation, recreation, transportation and equipment.
Funds raised also go toward national research.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to ending multiple sclerosis. For more information about the disease and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, you can visit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society website .
