Why We Fight MS

Having multiple sclerosis means that you may suddenly have blurry vision. Or that your memory will fail you for no apparent reason. Or that you may not always be able to walk around the house, let alone for miles on end. The symptoms of MS are different, and devastating, for everyone - the only certainty is that it will affect yet another person every hour of every day.

Why I Walk So Far-30 Miles in Two Days!

***I've registered for the MS Challenge Walk because I want to do something for the people who have been diagnosed - and because I want to do everything to prevent more people from learning what it means to live with this disease. Today, there is no cure for multiple sclerosis, and with diagnosis occurring most frequently between the ages of 20 and 50, many individuals face a lifetime filled with unpredictability.

***My mom, Linda, has MS. She was diagnosed over 10 years ago, and we're thankful that she's still going strong! She has good days and bad days, but you'd never know about the bad days because she keeps a good attitude no matter what.

***I love you, Mom!

Why You Should Sponsor Me

***I walk for my mom! I hope that we can make a difference right now in her life, and in the lives of all of the people affected by MS. You can help, too. You don't have to haul yourself out to Pennsylvania and do all this walking, I'll do that part. :-)

***This event is a challenge - and an opportunity - for everyone involved, participants and donors alike. With commitment to this cause, we can all be part of a historic undertaking. The funds raised from the MS Challenge Walk will not only support research for a cure, but also provide programs which address the needs of hundreds of thousands of people living with MS right now. Because we choose to walk for those who sometimes can't. Because we choose to donate to the MS Challenge Walk, we are getting ever closer to the hour when no one will have to hear the words, "You have MS."
