It seems that many charities have walks, runs, etc. to raise money and awareness for their cause. The MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Society is no different. Last year my wife decided to walk in the MS Challenge Walk, a 3-day, 50 mile walk. For her, this walk was very personal as her mother (my mother-in-law) has had MS for many years.
At the end of the walk last year, my wife said she wanted to do it again this year as she had a great experience and wanted to know if I’d walk with her. Of course, I’d walk with her and support her (and the MS Society). So now the begging, pleading, and hitting up everyone I know begins. In order to participate in the walk, I have to raise $2500 by September. I’m not one to go knocking on doors asking for money, but I’m going to knock on your virtual door.
Most people have charities that he or she donates to each year. If you’re one of those people and don’t normally donate to the MS Society, please consider diverting a small amount of your yearly donation to help sponsor me for the walk.
All you have to do is visit my personal donation page and make a donation. If you work for a company that matches your donation, don’t forget to find your company at the bottom of the donation page.
Like the famous people that host telethons say, “every dollar counts”. Please help me reach my goal.
I have MS myself and I’m glad to hear you are participating in this cause. The community is very supportive and provides a great deal of help managing this disease. I wanted to extend a personal thank you and let you know your support does make a difference.
