Carissa's Exploits and Fabulous Adventures




Japan Round Two

Sunday, April 08, 2007

I've registered for the MS Walk at Lake Tahoe on Saturday May 19 because I want to do something for the people who have been diagnosed - and because I want to do everything to prevent more people from learning what it means to live with this disease. Today, there is no cure for multiple sclerosis, and with a diagnosis occurring most frequently between the ages of 20 and 50, many individuals face a lifetime filled with unpredictability.

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.

I have started a team for the walk named Filibustering Philanthropists. If you are going to be here (the Reno/Tahoe area) on May 19th I would love to have you join our team (only 3 short miles!). Please go here to sign up: Filibustering Philanthropists

If you can't make it to walk with us but still want to give some money to help with MS research you can go here. The money raised during the walk will not only support research for a cure tomorrow, but also to provide programs which address the needs of people living with MS today. Any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
