It was both an honor and a pleasure to be asked if I could provide the music and announcements for the Syracuse 2012 Walk MS, to benefit the Upstate New York Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The beautiful weather brought thousands to Long Branch Park in Liverpool, and you'll see in the photos... a popular Syracuse TV personality even made an appearance!
- My set-up next to the bounce houses, which were a big hit with the kids all day.
- A closer shot of the set-up.
- Opposite angle, looking back across the crowd. My location was based on electrical hook-up availability, but the sound levels were powerful enough for everyone to hear all the music and announcements clearly.
- Brenda from the MS Society greets walkers before the walks kick-off.
- Kaylea Nixon from NewsChannel 9 also greeted the walkers.

- Walkers cooling off after they returned from the 1-mile, 3-mile or 5-mile courses.
- Vendors donated part of their sale proceeds to Walk MS.
- Raffle ticket sales also benefited Walk MS.
- Free massages for participants to relax after their walk.
