In April I was honored to be able to photograph the MS Walk in Tacoma at Chambers Bay. The weather was stupendous and for that I felt gratitude. More gratitude emerged from my soul as I had the privilege and honor to photograph those with MS.
All of us tend to forget from time to time just how lucky we are, myself included. I am not proud to admit this. But getting out of our comfort zone and watching and listening to others we open our minds. Watching others forge on through the walk with cane or without, in wheel chair or walking reminded me that challenges will always exist and it is for us, all of us to make the most of our lives and each and every day. Moments and events like these remind me that as a photographer all does not have to be pretty and perfect. And yes there are times when we strive for such, but at the end of the day what really matters is a day one feels good about participating in, thus creating the desire to forge on.

One small success leads to another. The desire to persevere under our circumstances becomes easier and hopefully creates joy within our hearts, minds and souls. To those bravely taking the time....I salute you and thank you for the honor to provide photos.
