It is that time of year again…Walk MS! This year’s Walk MS: Mahoning Valley will be Saturday, May 6 at the CANFIELD FAIRGROUNDS; Canfield, Ohio (note location change from last year). For a variety of reasons, our family's participation has been minimal since 2013. This year, however, we will be walking as a team for KV’s Krew and my mom and dad plan to be there.

Although the walk is an important event for the National MS Society Ohio Buckeye Chapter and to our family, KV's Krew's main fundraiser and educational event has become the...
