Lincoln Daily News
welcomes letters of appreciation, information and
opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's
opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the
issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

To the editor: Kickapoo Creek Park was a perfect setting for the
annual Lincoln MS Walk held on Sunday, May 4. Don Hellman and his
staff do an awesome job with the grounds. The sun shined brightly
for the 200-plus walkers who joined together and raised a
record-breaking $26,000 to help fund research and provide programs
and services for families impacted by multiple sclerosis. Local
services include a support group that meets the second Monday of
each month at ALMH, Conference Room A (lower level). Meeting time is
7 p.m.
In the picture, Bob Borowiak (with blue cap and green bandana) is
carrying the flag. His daughter, Jo Beth (wearing white shirt), is
beside him waving. They started the walk through Kickapoo Creek
Park.
We are still accepting donations until May 23; and checks,
payable to National MS Society, can be mailed to Lincoln MS Walk, 23
Tulip Drive, Lincoln, IL 62656. Your support is appreciated by those
living with MS.

 My heartfelt thanks to each and every person involved in the
success of the walk -- committee members, the walkers, teams,
businesses who sponsored the walk and donated items for prizes and
silent auction, and those who provided food and drinks for the
walkers. Your involvement and generosity is very much appreciated.
Music provided by Music 4U DJ Service added to the festive
atmosphere as well as announcing the winners of donated prizes and
silent auction items.
AirTran Airways at the Central Illinois Regional Airport in
Bloomington donated two round-trip tickets to one of the MS patients
at the walk. Janet Schall was the recipient. We thank AirTran for
their continued generosity.
Living in such a caring community is indeed a blessing! The MS
Walk was successful because of the dedication of everyone involved.
Sincerely,
The Lincoln MS Walk Committee
Nancy Ireland, Chairperson
