Brown Team’s a’Walkin’!
Oh man! We’re stoked. We haven’t been able to do the MS Walk for a couple of years (stink), and we’ll be participating in Nashville’s MS Walk on Saturday, 4/9. This year, the walk begins at Edwin Warner Park. Something tells me we won’t be making a mid-walk donut stop like we did a couple of years ago. 
Our Inspiration
We’re walking on behalf of Tony Zappanti (Nic’s pop)! This is one way we can support the great work of the National MS Society.
And because we love Pop.
And because he is awesome.
And because, unlike many folks with MS, we can still walk very easily.
And so we shall.
Don’t Know Much About MS?
MS is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS). Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another.*
The body’s own defense system attacks myelin, the fatty substance that surrounds and protects the nerve fibers in the central nervous system. The nerve fibers themselves can also be damaged. The damaged myelin forms scar tissue (sclerosis), which gives the disease its name. When any part of the myelin sheath or nerve fiber is damaged or destroyed, nerve impulses traveling to and from the brain and spinal cord are distorted or interrupted, producing the variety of symptoms that can occur.*
