The MS Challenge Walk 2010 is only a few days behind us, and memories of the event are still fresh in our minds. Stories like Brian's about his inspiring wife are just one of the many gifts we take with us when we step off the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Sharing these experiences helps to capture a bit of what makes this weekend so special, not only letting us reminiscence about this unique event but also giving us something we can send to our friends and family as a glimpse into our community.

In addition to stories, the weekend was also preserved on film. Just as he did last year, professional photographer and Challenge Walk volunteer Andrew Child has uploaded to his Facebook page 546 photos that he took over the course of the weekend, as well as 107 photos by budding photographer Zach Child. We'll have even more photos as well as videos up soon, but in the meantime, please click on any one of the below pictures to visit the larger album. (You don't need a free Facebook account to view the pictures, but commenting and tagging is limited to members.)

Ken 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 an alumnus of the event's steering committee and is this site's webmaster.
