Aloha and Bob DeSpain
The fourth annual M.S. Walk
and Roll 2001 is scheduled for
Saturday, April 21. in Heppner.
Registration forms are available
at most local businesses and banks.
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.
