On Sunday afternoon approximately 300 people, young and old alike, gathered to walk the blacktop roads of Kickapoo Creek Park. Each walker had spent time taking pledges from friends, family, co-workers and anyone else they could think of. The money they brought in will go to support multiple sclerosis research. The total from this year's walk is $27,000.

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). There is no known cure for MS at this time.

There are more pictures of the walk, plus plenty more of other events, in another picture-packed Monday edition.
