Although there's no August celebration event this year, you'll still get all the materials and opportunities you need to prepare you for next month's walk.
We are looking forward to the start of the 2009 MS Challenge Walk. In the past, we have hosted many of you for our MS Challenge Walk Celebration in late August. This was a chance for you to receive more information about the event, get your Travel and Information Guide and Change of Clothes Bag, have dinner, and hear some inspirational stories from fellow Challenge Walk participants.
In this difficult economic times, we are always looking for ways to cut expenses so that more of the money you raise goes to the mission of the National MS Society. To that end, we decided not to have a Challenge Walk Celebration this year. Please know though that the National MS Society will mail all the event information and supplies you need in mid-August. In the meantime, you can download the 2009 Travel and Information Guide.
If you wish to get an early start on meeting your fellow walkers, we invite you join a training walk in either Lexington or Cape Cod, each which will earn you $50 in bonus bucks. Also be sure to stop by the Cape Codder hotel the evening of Thursday, September 8th, for early check-in and a meet and greet the night before the Challenge Walk itself.
Everyone at the Central New England Chapter is eager to see you in September at the MS Challenge Walk!
