The Wacky WenLous

Team Update - It's Getting Close!

Hey Team!

Not long now until our walk! It is getting very exciting, and I can’t wait to enjoy a leisurely walk through Roma Street Parklands with you.

I just thought I would mention that my family usually tries to wear something in the theme of the Moonlight Walk. We usually wear red tops as red is the MS colour (and my favourite), however, this year I somehow managed to purchase t-shirts from MS Queensland for the walk. They arrived a couple of days ago and they’re really nice! They’re navy with white writing and good quality!. I found the women’s size not quite accurate (rather small fit) but I am arranging a refund as I have raised over $1,000 so I get given some kind of fundraising shirt that is red so I will be wearing that one instead. We will all be wearing denim shorts with them.

This is the link to the merchandise page if you’d like to have a look:

I’m not messaging you to tell you to buy a shirt or anything, I just thought I would mention the colour and shorts we are wearing in case you wanted to blend in. I would say navy or red top and denim bottom (if possible) would be good but feel free to wear whatever you’d like! In the past when I haven’t shared what my family are wearing, and when we have turned up matching, people have said they would have too so I just thought I would share – but please do/wear whatever you’d like to!

For those that haven’t done it before, you will see some fantastic costumes and team uniforms – I don’t go quite that far but I am certainly open to suggestions.

When the walk was at Southbank we used to go somewhere local to eat together afterwards. Being at Roma Street I am not sure what we will do this year. The event information says there will be food trucks (and there have been in the past but in limited numbers) so we might need to play it by ear to see what we do –  I am open to suggestions there too.

I was thinking of creating a group in messenger to make communication a bit easier. I will add those that I can to the group and get Lou to add the rest. That way we can chat more freely and also contact each other on the day etc. My phone number is 0407 452 297 if anyone doesn’t have it!

The walk starts at 6pm but there will be live music and food trucks and entertainment from 4.15pm. I think if we all should aim to meet around 5.30 – that should be fine. Unfortunately being a new venue this year, I can’t really suggest a meeting spot other than The Celebration Lawn – which is where MS Queensland says to meet. We could possibly meet outside the MS Queensland tent (they always have one where people pick up their lanterns etc.)

Finally, anyone is welcome to join our team – the more the merrier! So if you have any friends or family who would like to join – just add them in! We have almost raised $2,500 which is awesome! As the donations kept coming in I had to keep updating our target, but I am in no way pressuring anyone to donate or raise funds – what we have so far is amazing and we should all be very proud!

See y’all soon!

Thank You So Much
