We are the largest Walk MS family and friends team in the state of Connecticut. Team Jenifer is named in honor of Jenifer Walsh. A Cheshire resident who was first diagonsed with multiple sclerosis in 1998. Along with her husband, Don, and their infant daughter, Cara, they participated in their first MS Walk in 1999. The following year, they gathered more friends and family members to "Join the Movement", and together Team Jenifer was created. Cara and her brother Patrick have participated in every MS walk since they were born. Over the past 10 years, Team Jenifer has gained close to 200 members and has raised over $110,000. As an off shoot of Team Jenifer, Don & Jenifer created Cheshire's Lights of Hope in 2007 after the tragic home invasion that took the lives of Jennifer Hawke-Petit, Hayley Petit, and Michaela Petit. The first event took place on January 6, 2008 and raised $127,000 for Hayley's Hope & Michaela's Miracle MS Memorial Fund. | ||||||||||||
