MS Walk 2011: Shawna's team Utah

I was able to participate in the MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Walk for a very important person in my life, Shawna Otte. I am so glad that I had the chance to do this walk with many of my friends and family. We had 13 people sign up but only 9 of us were able to walk. There was me, Laura, Megan, my Mom, Sheena, Tega, Jeremy, Holly, and Oscar who all walked. Wesley was going to walk with us but he hurt his back pretty badly and wasn't able to. Even though not every one was able to come we will for sure try next year to have everyone come and join us for the MS walk. We were able to raise $95 this year and we will try hard next year to raise more.

The morning of the race we woke to this. We ALL dressed up warm of course.

Thank you everyone who was part of the MS walk. It really means a lot to me for all the support there is here in Utah for my really close friend Shawna. So grateful that Tega was able to participate even when she is eight months pregnant and Laura who is four months pregnant. I know when we first started to think about doing the walk we weren't sure if the four of us who grew up with Shawna we be able to participate and show our support but I am glad we all could. We love you Shawna!
