Re: [BrettsFriends] Fw: This message is a keeper

 

Hello!

I really don’t like running around begging for money like this but, it is for a good cause. On May 21-22, 2005 , I will be riding for 50 miles with my for the "Coast the Coast" Bike Tour benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and it’s Mid-Jersey Chapter. Over 2,500 cyclists and volunteers will participate in this exciting event.


MS is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks your nervous system.The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of the disease cannot be predicted and symptoms may range from numbness to paralysis or blindness. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, but the unpredictable physical and emotional effects can last forever. The National MS Society is dedicated to ending the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis.


With your help, I hope to make a difference in the lives of those with MS.Over 16,000 families in New Jersey alone are affected by multiple sclerosis. The goal of the event is to raise $1 million in an effort to fund a miracle cure.By riding in this tour, I am taking part in making that miracle happen for so many families. My personal goal is $150.00. Any pledge amount you can offer, $5, $10 or $15 will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your support.


Sincerely,

Kathy

 

P.S. Please make checks payable to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and send them to me at my home or work address:
