What I want to say:
Hi guys! As most of you know, I have been doing this since 2010 and thanks to your generosity, we have raised a bunch of money. We're doing it again this year in the hopes that one day there will be a cure and we won't have to do this any more. Plus, as always, I really need the exercise. :-) (And Jones Beach is always a nice place to walk.)
Thank you all for your support - whether it's financial or just good wishes (I accept those too! LOL). You guys ROCK!
Stuff written by Walk MS:
I've signed up for Walk MS—a charity walk that is changing the lives of people with MS and helping fuel progress toward a world free of MS. I'd love your generous support as I prepare for my walk.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. MS is different for everyone, and that makes it all the more challenging to solve. The first Walk MS event was in 1988, and since then more than $920 million has been raised for research and programs to improve the lives of people living with MS. Today, there are treatments where there weren't any before, and the dream of ending MS is becoming a reality. But there is still so much to do.
That's why I'm walking. I've set an ambitious goal because I know with support from people like you, I will have a great chance at reaching it. The money raised will drive groundbreaking research, provide life-changing programs and guarantee a supportive community for those who need it most. This cause is really important to me, so I hope you will do your part to help end MS forever.
Will you help me reach my goal by donating what you can?
