On April 18, 2010, it really happened. I walked the entire 3.2-mile WalkMS in a dress and high heels. To be honest, I wasn’t sure I could walk the whole way with the shoes, and seriously considered taking them off a couple of times. But I knew that at the end of the Walk, I can take the shoes off and the discomfort would eventually go away. My wife, and everyone else with multiple sclerosis, doesn’t have that luxury. So I just kept walking. One step at a time.
Thank you so much for everyone who sponsored me – your donation is helping to make the National MS Society an even better resource for people with multiple sclerosis. Thank you very much for everyone who walked with me on our team – I’m glad you didn’t mind going so slow. Thank you to everyone who has enthusiastically responded to this whole thing – every message I received really inspired and touched me. Thank you to Lan Yin “Eiko” Tsai for inspiring the look of my ensemble. And most of all, thank you to my wife for encouraging me and understanding the very serious ‘why’ behind this silliness.

About mile 82 (18 miles to go) a UHP motorcycle trooper asked if we'd like to draft off him. He "pulled" us all the way in.
We needed some branches moved to get the Communications Trailer into position. Monkey Craig took care of it.
Big Black Lab decided to not like us being near him at this point. Thanks to the people who didnt tie him... !

Meat for restaurants is hauled up the mountain by porters in the blazing sun....The reason we went vegetarian for 12 days!

A flock of sheep in West Lothian have turned orange to celebrate MS Week 2012 (30 April – 6 May). They have been given the coat of animal-friendly paint by farmer Andrew Jack to help raise awareness of multiple sclerosis in Scotland.

Multiple Sclerosis Awareness.
This concept is going to be reworked a little with the Orange Ribbon being centered a little and the pink being smaller.
At 5545 m, Kala Patthar sits below the south face of Pumori. For me the most impressive of them all. I felt as though I could reach out and touch it.
