About five years ago I walked the 10K and had the honor of finishing last. This year I registered to run the 5K. Late in 2013, I was diagnosed with MS. To combat the disease and the stress, I added running to my daily rosary walk. I offer my rosary run as a prayer for friends and family. Please join me, and my daughter Johanna, in our offering of prayer and in supporting the fire department at the Sound to Bay run.
