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.

Having MS is living a life filled with uncertainty about when the next relapse will happen; about how bad the relapse will be; about how your disability will affect your family.

The reason(s) I walk.

Why I Walk

I am walking for my girls. I have two beautiful girls, 4 and 7. I want them to see me doing something positive to bring about a cure for this disease. The causes of MS have not been identified. There are many theories and even some good leads...but that is not good enough. We need answers as to the cause,how to prevent this disease and how to cure it. I don't want my girls to ever have to hear..."I'm sorry, it's MS."

Why You Should Sponsor Me

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."
