Artist News: Walker Cares, Daniels Rings, Wilson Rocks and More

March 26, 2010/by contributor

Clay Walker, multi-platinum artist and founder of Band Against MS (BAMS), received the Robert M. Barg Memorial Achievement Award during the Fearless Caregiver Conference in Nashville on Wednesday, March 10. Today’s Caregiver magazine awarded Walker with its highest honor after his keynote speech on how to become a fearless caregiver.

This is only the fourth time an individual has received this honor in the organization’s history. He was on hand during the conference to help field questions about multiple sclerosis as well as caring for loved ones with the disease. Walker was featured on the cover of the magazine’s October 2009 Rural Caregiver issue, as well as in a full, four-page spread about his family, his battle with MS and his involvement with BAMS.
