MS Walk 2014

This year was our second year supporting the National MS Society through Walk MS.  Our team, MS Avengers was even bigger this year and it was a great day for a walk.  I had the privilege of being selected as a co-ambassador to raise awareness with Sam.  She is a nurse who was diagnosed shortly before I was.  We got to scoop ice cream at Maggie Moos on celebrity night and Sam did an interview early one morning on TV.  We had photo shoots and interviews with some local newspapers and I did a short interview the morning of the walk for a news station.



I'm not great at being in the spot light, but it was for a great cause and I'm so thankful we were able to help surpass our goal for money raised at the walk.  I'm looking forward to helping on the walk committee next year.

Spring Soccer 2014

Nash and Nolan chose to play outdoor soccer this year.  It was all fun and games until Nolan found out he wasn't on Nash's team.  He struggled to even participate until the last couple of games which really surprised us.  Jason volunteered to coach both teams so it was a busy few weeks.  Go Ireland and Scotland!
