ABC7 was a sponsor, and our meteorologist Jerry Taft led off the walk in Grant Park (link: http://walkild.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR?pg=entry&fr_id=17987). Jerry interviewed Bridget Barham, Captain of MS Walk Team Bridget's Brigade. Proceeds go to The Greater Illinois Chapter of the National MS Society
