Why We Fight MS

Having multiple sclerosis means that you may not be able to walk when you wake up. Or that you may suddenly have impaired vision. Or that your memory will fail you for no apparent reason. 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 Chose to Participate

I am participating this year in support of Ian's dad, David Kelleher, who was diagnosed with MS in 1995. David is lucky that he has been able to live a very active life despite having this disease -- many others living with MS are not so lucky. David is an amazing role model to his two sons and to so many others and I am proud to participate in an event that will help with MS research.

Why You Should Sponsor Me

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society will use funds collected from this event to support cutting edge research projects, as well as provide programs which address the needs of people living with MS today. Because we can do something about multiple sclerosis, because donations to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society are helping to change the world right now, we are getting closer to the hour when no one will have to hear the words, "You have MS."
