Wall walking has long been known as a “mobility aid” to those with multiple sclerosis.

MSer’s use walls and other stable surfaces to maintain their balance by constant touching when more preferred mobility aids (ie- canes, crutches, rollators) are out of reach.

Wall walkers are easy to spot as they generally must take the long way around the room as well as by the trail of waist-high fingerprints they leave behind.

 

Do not be embarrased wall walkers as I am one of you!

 

Not to brag, but being a jet-set, globe-trotter, I have wall walked around the world (Boy are my fingers tired) and would like to share my travels with you…..

 

 

Nearly tea time!
Nearly tea time!

Here I am wall walking at mysterious Stonehenge in the U.K.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a long wall walk.
This is a long wall walk.

Here’s me at the Great Wall of China.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not as tall as I thought.
Not as tall as I thought.

And me grabbing a bite to eat at the romantic Eiffel Tower in Paris!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Am I throwing a circle-change?

Back in the U.S., I’ve wall walked the Green Monster in Fenway Park.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Damn, someone better plug a hole!
Damn, someone better plug a hole!

And here I am at the Hoover Dam.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ain't no bunnies here!
Ain’t no bunnies here!

That’s me exploring Easter Island in the Pacific.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh geez, he saw me.
Oh geez, he saw me.

How could I forget wall walking at the Vatican!

(Luckily, I found a bowl of water to wash my hands.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No thanks, I'm good.
No thanks, I’m good.

 

And finally, here I am at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is safe to say I leave my mark (fingerprint) whereever I go.

And if you are a wall walker–don’t be ashamed by doing the same.

Happy travels.
