Community Supports MS Walk

Hundreds of walkers turned out for the ninth annual MS Walk hosted by Westminster School April 19. They assembled around 8:30 a.m. at the Jackson Hockey Rink for registration, group photos and refreshments. At 9 a.m. Headmaster Graham Cole welcomed everyone to the walk and introduced Eliza Mandzik ’09, who sang the national anthem. First Selectman Mary Glassman then thanked everyone for participating and making a difference in MS here and around the country, and State Representative Linda Schofield thanked the volunteers, Westminster School and the walkers. After volunteers Len Berman and Shannon O’Donnell cut the start ribbon, the walk into Simsbury town center and back got underway.

Among the morning’s walkers were 80 people supporting Team Dixie. They wore orange T-shirts and walked in honor of Shannon O’Donnell, a Simsbury resident who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 10 years ago. Other large groups of walkers turned out from Westminster School, Avon Old Farms School and Ethel Walker School.

Westminster faculty, staff and students coordinated the day’s set-up, operations and cleanup.
