Starting Sept. 17, my longtime friend Julie Wenschlag will take part in the three day, 50-mile MS Challenge Walk in the Twin Cities to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
This is the first time Julie has ever participated in the MS Challenge Walk before but for the past few years we've had a team at the annual MS Walk in Brainerd.
If you're not sure what MS is, just ask Julie. She was diagnosed three years ago with MS, a chronic, unpredictable neurological pain-in-the-ass disease that affects the central nervous system.
This MS Challenge Walk is not only important to Julie because it raises money to hopefully find a cure for a disease that personally affects her, but it's a way for her to show this stupid disease that it's not in charge.
So, if you have a moment, please think about making a donation in Julie's name at the MS Society, MN Chapter, web site.
Here is the link to Julie's web page
Hopefully we can one day make a difference.
