Sunny skies and colorful fall leaves made the walk a pleasant one. But

that’s not why the walkers participated.

People gathered today at the James L. Wick Recreation Area for a 4-mile walk through Mill Creek Park to benefit theMultiple Sclerosis Services Agency.

The MSSA is a non-profit agency thatserves people with MS in the tri-county area.

Kristina Ring of Champion pulled her sons, Daniel,4, and Aiden, 2, in a wagon as she walked.

“I was diagnosed [with MS] a year ago, and so that’swhy we’re walking,” Ring said.

“We walked last year, and that was our firstyear. It was nice. It’s a nice course.

It’s safe. We really enjoyed it. And it makesthe miles go quick because you’re walking through the scenery.”

“I think it’s important because the money stays herein the Valley,” she added.
