(Photos by Ellen Cedergreen for WSB)
Houston Wong was the first one back to the start of the course for this morning’s Walk & Roll for Ataxia, an annual fundraiser on Alki. He told WSB contributor Ellen Cedergreen that he was there on behalf of a friend who has ataxia, a nervous-system disorder (explained here). Ellen also caught up with Tony Lewendon, an ataxia patient who “rolled” on the course with his recumbent bicycle:

Two more photos after the jump:

Tony’s wife Milly Lewendon is Support Group Coordinator for the Washington Ataxia group – she’s in the photo below with Pastor Vince Armfield:

Participants had a chance at raffle prizes:

The Walk & Roll was followed by a barbecue. We’ll be checking for fundraising/participation totals, and will add that info when we get it.
