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 Walk

I walk because I can! There are so many people with MS that are no longer able to walk, so I walk for them!!

I was diagnosed with MS in June of 2003, and have been participating in the MS Walk with my team, TEAM ROUSE, ever since. We raise thousands of dollars for the MS Society each year through the MS Walk and other fundraisers that our team organizes. On May 9, 2009, we will be walking again in Frankenmuth, MI.

Please help me reach my $1000 goal!!

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society will use funds collected from the MS Walk to not only support research for a cure tomorrow, but also to provide programs which address the needs of people living with MS today. Because we choose to walk for those who sometimes can't, because we choose to donate to the MS Walk, we are getting closer to the hour when no one will have to hear the words, "You have MS."
My personal goal this year is to raise $1000. With your help, I CAN do this!!
