November Facebook Image & the fight against MS

Personal Uncategorized

This year has been more crazy and wonderful than I ever could have imagined. I started the year off running my very first marathon. I had spent countless hours in training, vowing to never put myself through such misery again. But then I crossed that finish line and it was the most euphoric feeling in the world. I got the bug. I decided to train and run in the Philly Marathon this November.

In June I participated in the messy MuckRuckus benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. I badly rolled my ankle some time after mile 3 and had to leave the run. A trip to the doctor confirmed that I had fractured my ankle and had to stay away from running for three months, leaving me without enough time to train for the Philly marathon. I was heartbroken.

I’ve been running again (slowly) and will be running the Philadelphia half marathon on November 18th. I’m raising money for the National MS Society in the process and would appreciate any contribution you can make for the cause.

I won’t be running all 26.2 but I will be out there sweating through 13.1 miles and I will be working on raising as much as I can for the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. Your donation would absolutely mean the world to me:

For my clients, I have an added bonus for you:  Starting at $40, I will credit you half of any donation towards Lindsay Docherty Photography products and/or services.  Donate $40, get $20.  Donate $400, get $200.  Donate $4000, get $2000.  Any amount above $40 will get you a credit.  This can be spent towards prints, sessions, wedding photography coverage, canvas prints, cards, etc.  Donate and let me know how you wish to spend your credit.  Not valid for orders or contracts already in place but can be used for additional products from previous sessions/coverage.  New clients and friends/family wanting to donate and get prints from your coverage can also take advantage of this.  Contact me for more information.

I Run to Stop Multiple Sclerosis
Last year I ran to help stop Multiple Sclerosis. It was a truly emotional and gratifying experience which is why I’m doing it again this year. I've been training for the last few months to run two half marathons this year and my very first full marathon in January. I'm doing it to raise money for the prevention, treatment, and cure of MS.Multiple sclerosis isn't fatal. A diagnosis doesn't mean it's time to run through a bucket list. But what it lacks in fatality it makes up for in disability and incredible challenges. It is a chronic, progressive disease.Multiple sclerosis turns the body against itself and attacks healthy parts of the cent ...

Philadelphia Gay Pride Parade and Festival 2014
Yesterday marked the first Gay Pride Parade and Festival in Philadelphia since gay marriage became legal in Pennsylvania just last month.  The parade, which started in the Gayborhood and wound its way down to Penn’s Landing, drew the largest crowds yet.  There were rainbows everywhere.  The Village People headlined the show at Penn’s Landing, several couples married at Independence Hall, and there were community-based LGBTQ booths (hi HRC friends!) as far as the eye could see down by the river. Here are just a few pictures I snapped while celebrating yesterday. As much fun as it was to see the revelry, I look f ...

The summer? Bah! That was nothing compared to what’s coming this fall. Hold on to your hats because there is a world of Lindsay Docherty Photography coming at you over the next few months. My mind is spinning and it’s hardly begun yet. This is my last totally wedding/engagement session - free weekend til December (yes, December!) so I’m taking a wee trip. I’ll be incommunicado til Wednesday because I’ll be paddling down the Delaware River for the next few days. “My, Lindsay, I had no idea you kayaked,” you say. Well, that’s because I haven’t. It will certainly be an adventure and will likely hurt. But I’m one tough cookie. I am und ...
