The Walking Rose

Friend and a longtime favorite model, The Thorny Rose, is taking part in a fundraising Walk-A-Thon this weekend to fight Multiple Sclerosis, and could use your help. A worthy cause on its own, it's also a disease that's touched her through friends and family, which is motivating her to help raise funds. "My aunt fought this disease and passed away when I was still in grade school. I have two friends now battling and looking for a cure."

If you'd like to make a contribution to help fund her efforts, you can contact her through ModelMayhem or MySpace or via her blog to offer your support.

We've only managed one brief shoot together since she's moved to Chicago, but I'm looking forward to working with her again in a few weeks when get back that way. :)
