The National Multiple Sclerosis Society had a fundraising event this past weekend (09/11 - 09/13).
Participants walked 50 miles, Friday through Sunday, from Carlsbad to downtown San Diego, in an effort to raise $1,200,000 and find a cure for MS.
I volunteered as a photographer to document the last 10 miles on Sunday. The day's walk began at Ventura Cove/West Mission Bay and ended at Pantoja Park in Downtown San Diego. I spent half a day, from 8:00 AM to 1:30PM, driving down the route, stopping at every rest station, and taking a bunch of pictures.
Although I drove between each rest stop, there were a couple times where I just couldn't find a parking spot close to the rest stations, specially in downtown SD, so there was some inevitable walking involved, and by the time the event finished my feet were pretty sore. It was until the next day that I discovered that I had a blister on my right foot. Jeez.
I can only imagine how the Challenge Walk participants felt after finishing those 50 miles that Sunday. Way to go guys and gals!
