Fundraising towards a cure for Multiple Sclerosis
July 6th, 2006My dear friend Maria is participating in a 150-mile MS bike tour (July 8 - 9) in order to help raise funds for the National MS Society (Colorado Chapter). MS, or Multiple Sclerosis, is a chronic degenerative disease that affects the central nervous system and currently has no cure. With enough effort, a preventive solution or cure can be found. You can also read Maria’s page (excerpt below). The MS Society also accepts e-pledges to sponsor participants, and any contribution is welcome. Good luck Maria!
Multiple sclerosis affects lives every moment of every year. At any time, someone with MS may suddenly be unable to stand up, hug their child or see a friend across the room.
This year, I’ll be participating in the National MS Society’s annual MS Bike Tour to help raise funds for research and local programs. It’s a small thing for me to do for people who face the devastating and relentless effects of MS every day. With each mile I ride, I hope to bring the National MS Society closer to a cure.
Will you help by sponsoring me in this year’s MS Bike Tour? With your generous support, we can end the devastating effects of MS, sooner rather than later.
Thank you!
