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.

We're pleased to welcome committee member Jennifer Rebecca Yates back to our Twitter account. As she did last year and the year before, Jen will be tweeting live from the Cape Cod Rail Trail using the official @MSChallengeWalk account starting tomorrow. This means that throughout the weekend, you or your friends and family back home can experience the event live in real time by visiting this blog to see short text messages and even photos from the route. All our tweets will also appear on the MS Challenge Walk's Facebook page!

Jen won't be the only Twitter user at MS Challenge Walk; you can follow our list of walkers to get even more perspectives. Their tweets will also be included in the below stream (but not on our Facebook page). Will you be tweeting? Let us know, and use hashtag #MSCW (short for MS Challenge Walk) in your own tweets!

[The live tweet has concluded! Please see Jen's archive of tweets for the full story.]

Tweeting live from Challenge Walk 2011

As much as walkers and crew love connecting with each other again every September, it can be hard to disconnect from your friends and family back home long enough to walk those fifty miles. Of course, the best solution is to bring them with you as your teammates — but if they don't know what the walk is all about, they can get a taste of the event this weekend.

Veteran walker Jennifer Rebecca Yates will be tweeting throughout the weekend, sharing short messages of her experiences and encounters along the Cape Cod Rail Trail. You can follow her notes on Twitter at @mschallengewalk; on Facebook at MS Challenge Walk Cape Cod; or right here on this blog. Unlike on Twitter and Facebook, the below feed has the benefit of also displaying tweets from walkers and crew Brian Rossi, Lindsay, Jodi Dwyer, and Cassandra Milone. Just refresh this page anytime you want to see the latest twenty tweets!
