Hundreds Turn Out for MS Walk
A bright spring morning and a very important cause brought hundreds of people out to participate in the 11th annual Travelers Walk MS hosted by Westminster School on April 10.
Before the walkers arrived, Westminster students and faculty took to their volunteer posts at registration tables in the Jackson Hockey Rink, campus parking lots, traffic crossings and rest stops. Volunteers from St. Mary’s Church also staffed a rest stop.
After registering, the walkers enjoyed light refreshments and entertainment, and then assembled at the starting point outside of the rink. Head prefect Matt Leach ’11 and Headmaster Bill Philip welcomed the walkers, Lauren Darnis ’12 and Franklin Darnis sang the national anthem, and fitness instructor Mary Root led the crowd in warm-up exercises. Following a ribbon cutting at 9 a.m., the walkers followed a designated route into Simsbury and back. Upon their return, they had lunch at the rink.
Among the walkers were teams named Robbin’s Hood, Peg Leg Petes, Soleburners MS Katers and Team Maureen, groups from Ethel Walker School and Avon Old Farms School, and Westminster faculty and students.
MS affects more than 450,000 people in the U.S. and more than 2.1 million worldwide.
