The annual MS Walk for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society took place in Audubon Park on Sunday.
“We have over a thousand people here today, and, thankfully, it’s a beautiful weather,” Crystal Smith, Director of Programs & Services for NMSS Louisiana, said.
Below, Jessica Gober, a volunteer with the Order Of The Eastern Star organization, gives a medal to a race participant.

Gober is from the Bay Area of California but came to New Orleans to study at Xavier, and upon graduating with a degree in chemistry, she became employed locally with the US Department of Agricultre and remains active in the city, like volunteering, as she puts a medal on a toddler in the below picture.

Several volunteers were working at the event.

Smith said, “This is a great opportunity for people with MS to come out as well as their family members, friends, caregivers, coworkers, and anyone that cares about anyone with MS, this is the place to be today.”

Below, five friends from New Orleans, motivated to participate in the event by the illness of the mother of one of them, pose after finishing the Walk.

From left-to-right are Glenis Scott, Kendrick James, Corey Audrict, Jimmie Slack, Michael Batiste, all from New Orleans, and all but James who attend St. Augustine High School. Slack’s mother is afflicted with multiple sclerosis, and the five were there to support his mother.

Smith said that the New Orleans chapter of the NMSS is more than 40 years old.
Additional photos from the event are in the MS Walk 2012 Audubon Park album on the Facebook fan page of the NOLA Post.
