MS4MS Kick Off

Friends of KADEP started their Flat 14er this morning at KADEP!

Team Friends of KADEP currently has the LARGEST team participating in Multiple Summits for Multiple Sclerosis (MS4MS). Friends of KADEP is doing a Flat 14er, the equivalent of hiking Mt. Sherman, which is a 5 mile hike.

The participants kicked off their hike today. Participants walked and rolled their laps, and are tracking their progress on the MS4MS board at KADEP. Other KADEP participants volunteered, passed out water, and made sure they stayed cool and hydrated.

They will be completing the 5 miles over the month of August. There is still time to support our KADEP participants: Click on the Link Below. Team name is Friends of KADEP

KADEP Welcomes Service Dog, Sully

We have a new friend! Five year old Sully, has been visiting KADEP the last couple of months. Sully received his service dog certification a year ago with KADEP Staff member, John. John got Sully when he was a puppy, living in Maine. Sully is a black lab and comes from a US and New Zealand blood line. Sully greets everyone with a wag and a smile. KADEP participants enjoy his calm demeanor and friendliness. Sully visits KADEP at least once a week. He loves car rides, hiking, playing fetch, and hanging around with people. Welcome Sully!
