Twitter Feed Test

So I just set up my new blog - seedchallengewalk.blogspot.com - and synched it with Facebook and Twitter. However, it seems when I logged into Twitterfeed, my dashboard was empty.
This is my test post to see if it is still synched to Twitterfeed or not. Last night it was. Hmm...

Bashful Blogging

So I did it. I started a new blog tonight, or more so set up a new blog tonight. I've been meaning to do it for a few months now. I won't release the name nor address yet because I haven't posted.

But it looks pretty! That was the easy part.

I signed up for the MS Challenge Walk Cape Cod in January or February, five years after my sister had been diagnosed with the disease. She has done the walk the last 2 years.

Last year, I went up to the Cape to see and support her walking. It was motivating and exciting. I knew I had to walk with her the following year - this year.

Also, in the two years she has walked, she has not finished the 50 miles. Last year, finishing was all she talked about and it was sad not to see her accomplish this goal. Part of me is certain that she will finish if I am walking next to her.

We have never been close, despite being 2 years apart. Her diagnosis brought us closer, but there is still a lot of room between us.

I hesitate to write my first post for my new blog because we are never the types to put our feelings out there, or get sentimental. Yet, I want this to be a blog I can share with everyone, and use as part of my fundraising for the walk.

We are doing a long walk tomorrow. Perhaps I will post on that (Long Legs?) instead of a first post about why I walk. I hope tomorrow is the catalyst I need ...
