Pre-registration is helpful but walkers may register the day o f the walk at All Saints' Episcopal church at 8 a.m. The walk begins at 9 a.m. Breakfast will be cooked and served by volunteers at All Saints' after walkers are finished with the walk. "Each year has seen an improvement in numbers o f walkers, in the am ount o f money donated and in the num ber o f volunteers helping to make the walk a success," said Aloha DeSpain, Heppner. DeSpain and her husband. Bob, will be am ong the volunteers. Multiple Sclerosis has touched their families: Aloha had an aunt, an uncle and a cousin who had M.S. and Bob had a sister, an aunt and a cousin who also developed M.S. Because o f such a shared history o f the disease, they experienced a great deal o f concern for their children's health. One o f their three children, Chris, was diagnosed with M.S. about eight years ago. So far, Chris has not experienced lasting disabilities. His sym ptoms come and go. Each person's progress with M.S. is unpredictable. Severity and specific symptoms vary from mild to severe. The DeSpains urge everyone to consider walking the "W alk" or pledging funds to those who are walking. Money raised by the M.S. W alk and Roll will go to the National M.S. Society with much o f it going to local programs as well as to research and education.
