three years later

​It’s been three years since WalkMS has been in person and I’m so excited to see what April 3rd, 2022, will bring. Since the last in person walk in 2019, I have physically gone downhill with extreme leg weakness and an inability to stand/walk and go-go-go like I always have. Since spring of 2020 my feet and legs have been getting weaker and weaker making standing and walking harder. Most of my friends and family can’t picture a moment where Irene wasn’t up and moving, because if I could, I would. So, while I am thrilled to be back in person this year, I am scared at how difficult “walk day” might be for me. I still have a few weeks to try to get stronger and figure out ways to be able to walk with my team, but if I can’t I know my team will be strong for me and walk their hearts out. I'll be cheering at the finish line.
