it can have an immediate, devastating effect on those diagnosed.Branch 2000 is holding a Walk a Mile in My Shoes Walkathon at the Lions Park on Saturday, Aug.4.The event, from 10 a.m.to 10 p.m., will include a mile walk, with car rides for those who cannot make it by foot, and a parade with horses and clowns through town.There will then be a BBQ.and entertainment including three bands, information and activities all day long.Says Aulis: “We are reaching out to people in this area, we know there are many, we want them to come and join us, to tell us their needs.We will be setting up support groups, whatever is needed and this event is our way to introduce ourselves.” The walkathon is also a fundraiser.“Branching out from Sherbrooke is taking a lot of money and our coffers are COURTESY ‘Visiting members in long-term homes is very important to us,” says Aulis.“Here I am with Bonnie Sparks whom MS stole from us.Such a beautiful soul, wife of a wonderful man and mother of two daughters, she spent 15 years in the hospital.She has passed on now.” pretty bare.All of the money stays in the Townships, all of the money goes to help sufferers.We are in great need of one or more corporate sponsors, to stand behind our efforts to make this first ever inroad into Knowlton and surrounding area.” Although help for MS sufferers such as special equipment and physical therapy is available through the health care system, there is often a wait, sometimes up to six months, to begin hospital-given therapy.“When you are diagnosed with MS you need help immediately,” says Aulis.“We will pay for private therapy in the short term; we also will provide equipment immediately, bathroom aids and chairs, whatever is needed.We give out our brochures to CLSCs and medical clinics; we cannot con- tact people, they must contact us.” Aulis feels that perhaps the most important part of her work is friendship and support.“We have a buddy system, every member is paired up with someone else, who they can call and cheer each other up, help each other through difficult times.We have support groups; we visit people in the hospital.“MS is a horrible disease, it progresses differently with everyone.There have G8leuetièr& Normand & Ghislaine invite you to pick GIANT BLUEBERRIES in the enchanting decor of their Victorian style farm, picnic & playground area.Also available: different types of blueberry preserves.Open every day from 81OO a.m.- 8:00 p.m.;
