On April 30, 2011, I'll be participating in the 2011 Walk MS: Dumas at McDade Park. This event attracts hundreds of walkers from across the city for a memorable event. The walk is hosted by the National MS Society, and the proceeds from the event go support our mission of creating a world free of multiple sclerosis.
Why I Walk
Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body and stops people from moving. Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment, made possibly from the funds raised in events like the Walk MS, are moving us closer to a world free of MS.
Why You Should Sponsor Me
I’m walking to create a world free of multiple sclerosis, and you can join me in the movement by sponsoring these efforts. The money that we raise together will not only support research for a cure tomorrow, but also provide programs which address the daily challenges of people living with MS today. Across the region this year, the Walk MS series is striving to raise at least $1.5 million, but it takes the commitment and dedication of thousands to make that a reality. Any amount you can contribute does make a difference.
