Why I’m Moving Forward

Multiple sclerosis is a progressive neurological disorder that affects people in many different ways. It could be paralysis one day, loss of vision the next or impaired memory the day after that. Living with MS means living with uncertainty.

When it comes to MS, only two things are certain:
Another American is diagnosed every hour of every day
Many people are joining the movement toward a world free of MS including me.

Why I Raise Funds and Cheer on Riders

I've registered for the Bike MS: Valero 2009 Alamo Ride to the River to fulfill a personal challenge, and also to help the National MS Society fund research, advocate for change and help people with MS and their families lead powerful lives. I believe in the work they do and want to be part of it.

Can I count on your help?

Let’s Move Forward Together

What I do, encouraging others to get involved by raising funds and awareness, is the easy part, believe me. In the midst of one of the hottest, steamiest Texas summers in recent memory, dozens of my Express-News coworkers and other members of the Third Street Grackles have been out there earning real sweat equity - pedaling before and after work and on the weekends. These practice rides cover a lot of ground - dozens of miles - to ensure that when the big weekend arrives on Oct. 3, they'll be ready to tackle this year's new route - a loop through the scenic Hill Country, rather than to the beach.

By donating to the ride, you, too, can be a great cheerleader for the riders. It may sound trite or insignificant, but I promise you every dollar counts and makes a difference.

I hope you'll thoughtfully consider making a donation through this Web site, or if you'd rather mail a check, that option is also available, and my address is below. I'll make sure everything gets where it's supposed to!

If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at amydiannedorsett@yahoo.com!
