"Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf

I went to the Walk MS this morning.  It was at a different location this year, it was quite brisk with the breeze that was blowing.  I felt bad for the volunteers, the woman that helped me with my bib said her hands were freezing.  A HUGE thank you to all the volunteers and people that helped!!

I have struggled with my MS issues recently, especially the fatigue.  I just was n't able to get my team organized this year.  Plus with the unknowns of a new location, I decide that I needed to only have to worry about getting myself together this year.  It would be less stress to only have to worry about getting me there and not having to coordinate people, parking and things.

I know with absolute certainly that all of my friends would have been there had I asked.  I *know* they *always* have my back!

I reused my "Transcend MS" T-shirt that I made for Team Rachel 2015 Walk MS.  As my friend Cappy pointed out at the time, the T-shirt was "too busy" but it was fun!  (Funny, completely coincidentally, I got a text from Cappy the other night saying they had worn their "Transcend MS" T-shirt to work that day.  That was cool!)

I met a couple of very delightful ladies, Jenna and Sarah (Sarah is the one standing with me in the photo).  Sarah also has MS and they were celebrating the fact that this year Sarah was able to complete the walk without a cane or wheelchair.  That was so wonderful to hear.  Always so *AWESOME* to hear of a great success story from someone with MS!!!

After the walk I chatted with my friend Amanda Mitchell for a few minutes. She is one of the wonderful folks who put the Walk MS together.  Once again a HUGE thank you to her and all the other wonderful people at the local Utah/Southern Idaho Chapter of the MS Society for all the work they do!

Please, please, PLEASE, if you are able make a donation for the walk.  My team donation is here:

https://secure.nationalmssociety.org/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app30115a?idb=1596600502&df_id=57926&FR_ID=28491&mfc_pref=T&PROXY_ID=522601&57926.donation=form1&PROXY_TYPE=22&NONCE_TOKEN=8F2E11E3D004F3F6F4226D1730FE582B

As I've said in the past, before I was diagnosed I had NO CLUE what MS was really like.  I had it for around 3 years before I was diagnosed and didn't know it was MS that was causing the cognitive issues I was having.  It wasn't until the physical symptoms appeared in November of 2010 that led to finally recognizing it as MS.

I don't think there is a moment of the day that MS doesn't affect in one way or another.  It would be so nice for so many people to find a cure.  Please help by donating if you can!  Even a small amount helps, it all adds up.  If all of my friends donated $5, it would be a very significant chunk.

Please note: you can donate until May 31st and it will count towards the Salt Lake 2017 Walk.

A HUGE thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU to everyone who has or can donate!

Rockamatics

Then I stayed and rocked out and danced to the wonderful Rockamatics band that played some great rock-n-roll tunes from the 50's, 60's and 70's.  They were wonderful!!  I really enjoyed the show.  I really loved the saxophone in several of the songs.

Anyway, one of the songs they really rocked was "Born to be Wild".  Since I've meant to post it for some time, I decide to post it as my song for today.

I have wanted a Harley for years!  Hell, I miss my little Kawasaki that was stolen like 20 years ago.  Of course SueZQ would freak I suppose.  She was pretty freaked when I took our step-nephew (?) Nick's motorbike out for a spin a year or two ago.  LOL
