Still time to register for the April 22, 2017 2017 Walk MS: Westminster event



Still time to register for the April 22, 2017 2017 Walk MS: Westminster event


There is still time to participate in the 2017 Walk MS: Westminster event scheduled for Saturday, April 22. In fact, there will be time up until 9 a.m. Saturday, when the walk begins.

"We are not going to turn people away if they want to walk for us and raise money for us," said Katie Boothroyd, director of internal communications for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. "We're excited to have them."

Of course, you can also sign up in advance online, and for free, according to Samantha Wolfe, fundraising and event manager for the Westminster walk. People are encouraged to come out and participate whether or not they will be donating, although people can donate in person or online.

"You can walk and not donate, you can donate and not walk, you can walk and donate — it's tailored for anyone to partake in any way they feel comfortable," Wolfe said. "That extends to both a 3- and 1-mile walking loop for those that do choose to walk."

Day-of registration will begin at 8 a.m. Wolfe said, as breakfast is served and a DJ plays music; the walk itself will begin at 9 a.m. After the walk, snacks and more music will be offered.

Washington Post by Dan Zak: Ann Romney can feel Hillary Clinton’s pain

Washington Post by Dan Zak: Ann Romney can feel Hillary Clinton’s pain

By Dan Zak October 8, 2015


Last winter Ann Romney curled up in the family mansion to write her memoir, in pen on yellow legal pads. She wanted the story to hinge on her struggle with multiple sclerosis.

The fatigue. The agony. The depression.

After she miraculously went into remission, the brutality of presidential politics became a new source of pain — which she re-lived when she saw Hillary Rodham Clinton on the “Today” show Tuesday.

Voters “just don’t connect with you,” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie said to Clinton. And “they might not like you.”

Horrible, Romney thought.

“Oh that really hurts my feelings, I have to tell ya,” Clinton said, and Romney believed her, because she has felt those feelings.

The judgments of likability.

The accusations of inauthenticity, of out-of-touchness.

“It’s like: ‘We don’t like you; how come?’” Romney says, mimicking the querulous media. “It’s like, really? I know her. And she’s obviously an extraordinary mother, she’s extremely brilliant, with unbelievable experience. The whole thing, with the attacks from everything, you develop — a bubble. From that. A protective bubble. Which you have to do. You have to. Whatever that bubble then projects to somebody is really not what’s inside the bubble.”
