Soggy weather might have dampened turnout, but it couldn't stop the event.
Jeff Brody decided to count down from three instead of the usual 10 to start the annual Walk MS 5k in Ridley Creek State Park Sunday morning. Brody, the development manager for the National MS Society's Delaware Valley chapter, knew that the hundreds of walkers would rather get moving than linger an extra seven seconds in the cool rain. More than 1,000 people registered for the annual walk, which began at Picnic Area 14. Hundreds of them turned out despite damp, chilly weather to raise awareness and money for multiple sclerosis research and programs. The event was one of 18 walk sites in the region. "Walk MS is an incredible experience despite this weather, because it's our chance to fight," Brody said to the crowd. "It's a show of …

Media Patch takes you to Hunting Hill Mansion and formal gardens at Ridley Creek State Park.
Step back in time to the early 1900s. You just got engaged, and are gifted with a mansion and farmland in the heart of a Philadelphia suburb. Certainly an exquisite present for a bride and groom-to-be. The privileged couple was Philadelphia investment banker, Walter Jeffords, and Sarah Dobson Fiske, the niece of Delaware County millionaire socialite, Sam Riddle. He is most notably known for owning the race horse, Man O’ War, and is also the namesake of Riddle Memorial Hospital. Riddle gave what is known as Hunting Hill Mansion, located in the heart of Ridley Creek State Park, to Jeffords and Fiske in 1913. They later transformed the modest farmhouse into a remarkable, Old World mansion, with 38 rooms, 13 fireplaces, and nine bathrooms. The…
