MS Walking in the Time of Covid
Special letter from my brother Paul Keohane:
Hi, everyone –
2020 has been a
strange year to say the very least. I hope that you have been staying
safe and that you and your families are healthy.
As you could
have predicted, the MS Challenge Walk (like most events) has been negatively
affected by the pandemic. The MS Society wisely decided to make the event
virtual, meaning there’ll be online programs throughout the weekend but no
gathering and walking at the Cape. I’m really going to miss seeing my
friends there as well as enjoying the enthusiasm and support of the event
volunteers.
Although the Cape walk is officially cancelled, I remain determined to get in those 50 miles, so am currently mapping out a few different routes for that weekend, which is
September 11-13.
On that Friday, I plan on walking 20 miles throughout the Burlington area,
making my Mom and Dad’s house and my sister Anne’s condo in Tewksbury rest
stops along the way. On Saturday and Sunday, my plan is to put in
the remaining 30 miles around my neighborhood and surrounding Oxford area.
I know times
are crazy for everyone right now, so any support you could give for this event
would be even that much more appreciated. No amount is too small!!
Please know
your support goes such a long way toward research and treatment, as well as
greatly assisting those who are fighting and struggling with MS every
day.
As always,
there are two ways you can help.
- The fastest and most convenient way would be to visit my fundraising page at:

- You can also mail me a check, making it out to The National MS Society.
