Joyce Nelson's Challenge Walk blog

Written by on June 8, 2009 at 1:40 pm

Several chapters of the National MS Society have their own MS Challenge Walk. For most of us, walking just a single such walk is a vast undertaking. But for Joyce Nelson, the President & CEO of the National MS Society, each event is an opportunity to meet people from around the world who are dedicated to a world free from MS. So rather than dedicate herself to just one, Joyce is tackling them all.

As Joyce walks in several MS Challenge Walks around the country this summer and fall, you can follow along with her as she trains and walks. Follow her blog at http://nmssociety.blogspot.com/

Of course, we at the Central New England chapter are rather partial to our own walk on Cape Cod. Have you participated in any of our other national events?

Todd is formerly the Director of Development for the Greater New England Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. In addition to reading his blog posts, you can also find Todd on Twitter.

If you have either an Apple iPhone cell phone or an Amazon Kindle eBook reader, you can now read the MS Challenge Blog on these mobile devices. For the iPhone, you'll need the free Kindle for iPhone application. Then you can find us in the Kindle Store, where a subscription to the blog is only $.99 — 30% of which goes to the National MS Society. (Accessing this site directly, or receiving it via email, will both always be free.)

If you read the blog using either of these methods, please let us know what you think! Or if there are additional ways you'd like us to get content to you, please leave a suggestion.

Ken, a Worcester resident, joined the MS Challenge Walk in 2005, more than a decade after his mother was diagnosed. After walking for three years and 150 miles, he switched to the support crew and now rides his bicycle along the trail, providing whatever encouragement (and snacks!) he can to the 600 walkers. He is also on the event's steering committee and is this site's webmaster.
