"Cause I Can" Judith Cantor's fundraising projects

A day of red and white

MS Australia couldn't have planned it better. Not only were there thousands of people clad in their corporate colours to walk the 2010 MS Walk route - 5.5km, 9km or 16km - but so were many others in Sydney CBD in support of the Sydney Swans for the AFL match! A match made in heaven? *hint, hint*

We were incredibly lucky with the weather. After flash floods only a couple of days before, we were greeted with a dry and intermittently sunny day. It was freezing, mind you, but Fitness First were on hand to lead the participants through warm-up aerobics and so after a while we didn't feel it.

The 9km route took us through Hyde Park, down Martin Place, across to Millers Point, round the promenade at Circular Quay and the Botanic Gardens, past the Art Gallery of NSW and back to the starting point.

It was a wonderful chance to be part of an enthusiastic crowd supporting the cause. There were people on foot, in wheelchairs, and children in strollers, on scooters and strapped to their parents' bellies.

It also gave me the chance to see parts of Sydney that I would normally not notice if I were driving past in a car. In fact, I couldn't believe how many photos I took with my wee phone camera!

Thank you for your support and donations. May they only lead to the speedy discovery of a cure for multiple sclerosis!
