MS Walk 2013

My team "Brandy's Bandits" walked again this year in my local chapter of the Walk to end Multiple Sclerosis. As usual, there was plaid everywhere, Cowboy hats and bandannas but this year we had our new mascot Washburn!

He looks super cute in the Bandanna and Hat my sister provided him.

This year with close to 30 team members we raised over $2,500!!! This money will not only go towards Research into the Disease, and Research for a Drug but the MS Society uses part of the money raised to support Canadians living with this disease, whether it's in the form of free vitamins, cheaper drug plans, accessible drug plans and home care etc...

There is still time to donated to my team if you feel so inclined!

In the "Personal Blog" Section I have linked a couple of my short stories that can be found on my other Blog "A Drop of Brandy" about living with Multiple Sclerosis. 

My other Blog (in case you've never visited it) is http://adropofbrandy.blogspot.ca/

Now Wash and I are still recovering from the excitement of the weekend. Time for another siesta. 

A HUGE Thank You to all my friends and family who made it out, who walked, who donated and who supported the cause! I love you all!

MS WALK

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the end of High School. 

Since then I've been jumping drug to drug, diet to diet, trying to get this disease under control. 

Lately my symptoms have been in remission, but I will be participating in my local MS Walk which raises money for Research for a cure AND to support those who are suffering from the disease. This year will be my 7th year Walking with my team Brandy's Bandits. It will also be Wash's first year joining us. 

Wash and I have been training really hard. At the walk there are Lots of people, Lots of dogs and LOTS of distractions, so we`ve been socialising a lot with adults, kids, seniors and other dogs. We`ve also been biking quite a bit to try something new and to keep fit. 

Wash and I are taking it really slowly; he`s still growing so I don`t want to `push him too hard, and I'm tentative on a bike anyway so we're both learning how to ride together safely. So far, it's great and we both love it! 

I'll post a bit about learning to bike with Wash later when I have pictures. 

But if you can, please support myself and Wash in the MS Walk. Click the link to get to my donation page: http://mssoc.convio.net/site/TR/Walk/OntarioDivision?px=1228615&pg=personal&fr_id=1906&s_locale=en_CA

Any and all support (whether it's a donation, nice thoughts or a prayer) is greatly appreciated! 

Thank you all!

Thanks for all your Love and Support!

Squashburn!

By combining two of my passions; Washburn and Squash, I have created SQUASHBURN!

He's the world's cutest Squash playing dog. 

Ok, so he can't play and is not allowed on the courts, but he looks ready to play! 

It took about 2 minutes before he would stop tossing the glasses off of his head, but I'm impressed he let me do this. Good Boy Wash!
