"Tom Wallisch to do MS Walk in ski boots"

These boots weren't made for walking, but that's just what he'll do.....

Tom will be walking 3 miles in his Full Tilts to raise awareness, and hopefully lots of money, for the disease of Multiple Sclerosis. What a stand up guy he is, on and off the slopes!

 Follow the link for all the information and ways to donate.

Kind of sarcastic humor, but I see it as being appropriate for this thread.

What a dude. More people should do stuff like that. What about some NSers who live in the area go and join him in their ski boots? I would, I just happen to be several thousand miles away. So I donated instead.

My mom had sclerosis for 7 years now, she can't even walk anymore. Big ups to Wallisch, you gained my most sincere respect.

Holy shit I just paused my music to watch this video and the intro song was the song I was listening to. I'm kinda high so I'm not sure if this is really as mind blowing as I think it is.

Sorry for your loss. He must have been a young man:( My brother-in-law suffers from the disease as well. Made a donation in his honor. Thanks Tom.
