FUNDRAISER SPOTLIGHT

ILD Walk MS Illana Friedman

Illana Friedman participated in last year’s Chicago Walk MS event despite being nine months pregnant. This year’s walk will be extra special for her as her son, who was born six days after the 2013 Walk, will be there and the family tradition of Walk MS will officially be passed on to the next generation.
