Artist steps out in fight against chronic iIllness

 

Wethersfield resident Paula Bleck (right) and her team Pirate Robots take part in the2013 Walk MS held on Sunday, April 21, in West Hartford. With the Pirate Robots, Bleck, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2011, has helped to raise $2,254 of a $5,000 goal. Walk MS attracted more than 9,500 participants, and about 1,400 walkers in West Hartford. To date the 2013 Walk MS, presented by Travelers, has raised $985,000 toward a $1.4 million goal. Last year's Walk MS raised a record $1.38 million. Walk MS individuals and teams are encouraged to continue raising funds through May 31, the official deadline for prizes. Suggestions for increasing fundraising totals include, launching letter writing campaigns, utilizing social media networking sites to reach out to contacts and hosting fun-filled wrap around events, such as backyard barbeques, beer and wine tastings, and theme parties.
