I raised pledges totaling $3,040.00. The MS Snowmobile Tours, raised $325,000.00 in pledges and sponsorships. I'm very proud to be associated with this great group of snowmobile enthusiasts, in our fight against Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Those making a pledge on my behalf are supporting national multiple sclerosis research and providing local services to the nearly 7,500 families affected by MS in Wisconsin. I, as well as those affected by Multiple Sclerosis appreciate the support.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that randomly attacks the central nervous system, which can affect the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve. The deterioration of the positive substance covering the nerve fibers, called myelin, can impair bodily functions such as movement, speech and sight. As many as 350,000 Americans have MS, with another 200 new cases diagnosed each week. There are nearly 7,000 people in Wisconsin who live with the daily challenges of MS and who are provided direct services and support by the Wisconsin Chapter of the National MS Society.
If your interested in getting involved with MS Snowmobile Tours, or would like to make a pledge that helps provide equipment, support groups, counseling referral, a lending library as well as support the national research into treatments, cause and cure of multiple sclerosis, please feel free to contact me.
I'd appreciate your support.
