If you're reading this, your world has already been touched by the National MS Society. Even if the person with MS in your life hasn't availed themselves of the many outstanding programs that the MS Society offers, the Southern California Chapter of the National MS Society sponsors this blog. And so, as previously stated, your world has already been touched by the untiring dedication of the amazing people in this organization.
And this is our opportunity to pay back some of their support. This April 6th, I'll be leading a team in WALK MS at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. WALK MS is the major fundraising event for the National MS Society and this is my personal plea for your help in making this year's event a success. If you check around your favorite media, you'll find that the current economic climate in the United States is not particularly conducive to fundraising. Charities across the country are feeling the pinch. And that's why I need your help...because none of us can afford not to have the National MS Society in a position to do all of the wonderful things that it does every day. From creating new programs to funding cutting-edge research, the National MS Society has truly been a life-saver for my family and so many others.
If you're in the Los Angeles area, you're invited to join my WALK MS team, Strum's Striders, and help us raise money. If you're out of the area, you're invited to support our team by making a donation. Either way, you're doing something that you or your loved one will directly benefit from. So, to all of you anonymous lurkers who read but don't leave your comments on this blog, please take a moment and lose that anonymity just long enough to support this important cause.
Join me on April 6th as I walk for my wife Jeanne because she, and hundreds of thousands like her, can no longer walk for themselves. And please donate generously. I wouldn't beg for your money if it wasn't such an important cause.
