Well, it's here. Challenge Walk 2011 kicks off tomorrow morning at 7:00am in Friendship Heights. In the next two days, I will be walking 50K (31 miles) through Maryland, Virginia, and DC. I've done the fundraising ($2080!), and I've pretended to do the training. Now it's time to actually gear up and walk with team Snappy Feet.
I know this weekend will leave me absolutely exhausted, and I know I probably won't be able to move on Sunday afternoon. BUT I know that Nana would be proud of me, and I know that (as always) I will be inspired by all the amazing people around me. We'll tell stories and laugh along the way, and I'll leave on Sunday with wonderful memories.
But more importantly, I'll leave knowing that one day no one will hear the worlds "you have multiple sclerosis." Now that's something worth walking 31 miles for.
