2010 MS Walk, Westport CT

The G Team celebrated it's third year in the walk. Third time was a charm. I made it a personal goal to have a big team. We had a great turn out of family and friends. Eddie and I are so blessed to have everyone who joined us and donated to our team. The G Team was able to raise $3199 for the MS Walk.

This year we were more determined to get out there. The MS Society in Connecticut has been a great help to us. When we had questions they are easy to contact and try their best to help or forward information. I know there are some other chapters that don't have great reviews. Eddie was able to have the CCSVI procedure in April and is doing well. We had to go to New York for it, but since we are so close to NY it wasn't too bad. Some people have traveled several miles to find relief. We have seen improvement and we are blessed. They are small improvements but to us they are big.

Ed felt great after the walk this year. Last year he was exhausted by the time he crossed the finish line. This year he had so much energy. Running around after our 4 year old son. Circulating and talking to people. We were the first team to get to the walk and the last few people to leave the park. We did the walk to prove CCSVI is valid and works and to support the research and people with MS in our state. We were lucky to meet others that want the same thing.
