Why I Walk...
My wife, Shelby was
diagnosed with MS six years ago. This lousy disease flipped our lives
upside-down several times over. We were scared, clueless about MS and facing
MAJOR hospital bills and the debt that those bills left us with. Each time we
were ready to throw in the towel the National MS Society was there. They sent a
nurse to our house to educate us, they offered us a shoulder to lean on and
they have covered CAT Scans when we had nothing in our bank account. This
support was made possible by your donations. Thank you.
As amazing as the Society has been, my wife's resilience has surpassed it. She
works two jobs, raises two children (three, if you count me) and manages her
own private catering business. I do what I can year round, but this walk is a
culmination of all the times I could do more.
My wife kicks ass. She has MS. MS does
not have her.
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. That sucks.
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."
