Rest Stop 1 and Beyond

The last half of the walk was the most difficult for Phyliss because she was getting tired. we took several unofficial "Phyliss Rest Stops" as we curled our way down Reston Avenue towards the finish line. When we were sitting right in front of Macaroni Grill with the finish line nearly in sight, a representative from the MS society came over and asked me if I thought Phyliss needed a ride to the finish line. I thought about it for a moment and finally said, "my agreement with Phyliss was that we walk until she says we don't and I haven't heard her say she wants a ride yet." So we walk!!!

Off we went down the last hill and into the Reston Town Center. Phyliss was accompanied by her team members and a motorcycle escort and greeted by many well wishers and members of the MS society. She was tired but able to walk in proudly on her own. What a great accomplishment for Phyliss. There was not a dry eye in the Town Center. What a great day for Phyliss Hurt!!!
