When it came time for the
actual walk to begin, Nancy Ireland called the group to order inside the
Laughlin Center. Ireland introduced all the teams that were
walking this year and drew special attention to two of them.
She announced that Nona's
Nitwits and Wendy's Walkers would lead off this year's walk in honor
of the women for whom their teams were named.
Nona Perry of Lincoln died in
July of 2012 at Maple Ridge Care Centre. She was 74 years old and
had MS. Wendy Strocher, of Decatur, lost her life at the
age of 49 in September of last year. Strocher was a Lincoln
native, with her mother living here still.
In their memory, both Nona's
and Wendy's families requested donations be made to multiple
sclerosis programs and research.
