Support a friends MS Walk fundraising efforts

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that hits home. My grandmother passed away in 1980 after battling MS for many years. My mother has been living with MS. I have seen how horrible of a disease it is.

A friend of ours, Danielle Rose, is participating and fundraising for the MS walk in Belmar, NJ. Please consider donating to Danielle’s fundraising efforts http://tinyurl.com/ms-walk-support

Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by the disease.
