Friends, this will be my last post for the weekend and the MS Challenge Walk. First, THANK YOU Jim Krueger for your patience this past summer with me taking on this endeavor. We lost many hours of summer this year. Thank you for your love, encouragement and support - words cannot express this sufficiently. Second, THANK YOU to my sister, Cathie Guderski Jackowski for being my walking companion - I hope your knees and feet dont hate me. Thanks to your Jim for taking care of my Jim while we were out doing our thing. Thanks to the Wisconsin Chapter of the MS Society for all the work you do for coordinating events such as this - unbelievable. Thanks to the medical crew and your work for keeping the walkers going - many long hours this weekend. I appreciated you helping prevent blisters on my toes - it worked. Thanks to all of the rest stop crews - your food, drinks (yes, that means beer, bloody marys and screwdrivers), and words of encouragement. So glad each rest stop had porta potties because I used one at every stop - 14 in all (needed to be pro-active). Thanks to all of the other volunteers driving back and forth each day checking on the status of the walkers - safety for us was your number one priority. Finally, thanks to all who donated, put up with my pictures and posts, or gave words of encouragement - it meant the world to me. And, yes, I am considering doing it again next year (this is your first warning, Jim). Someday, we WILL find a cure for MS. In the mean time, those afflicted, must BE STRONG (which was the theme for the weekend)!
