To My Family & Friends:
The MS Walk has snuck up on us this year, leaving only 3 weeks to rally for team members and donations! For the sixth year, our family looks forward to joining the thousands of people ‘Walking For A Cure’ for Multiple Sclerosis at the Orange County MS Walk. This 5-10K walk, held at UC Irvine on April 12, will raise money for much needed research on MS, a disease that has affected nearly 2.5 million people worldwide. As you know, my mother and sister are two of the over 3,000 people living with MS in Orange County. THIS IS WHY WE WALK! Unfortunately this summer my sister had a severe MS attack. While she is doing better now, she still needs our support and prayers. It also gives us an even stronger reason to raise money and walk for a cure!
Every hour someone new is diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Every morning, more than 400,000 Americans wake up with the unpredictability of MS: reduced vision, lost muscle control, numbness or tingling, even immobility. The variability of symptoms is vast and brings uncertainty to those living with the disease and their future. Together, we can turn the uncertainty into HOPE and bring the future world without MS into focus. Participating in the MS Walk is our way of contributing to that HOPE!
Thank you again to those of you that walked or donated to our cause last year. Last year we had a small group of only 11 walkers, yet we still managed to raise $2,800! This year we will boost our goal to 20 team members and $3,500. Please help us achieve this goal by joining us on the walk and registering at http://www.mswalk.com/ under Hansen’s Hopefuls. If you are not able to walk, but would rather make a small donation toward MS research, please return the form attached to this letter. Every dollar generously donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society brings us one step closer to the mission – ending the devastating effects of MS. Your donation will not only help fund MS research, it will help those who are struggling with this chronic disease today. All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by the law. The National MS Society, Orange County Chapter is a registered 501 (c) 3 organization. The Federal tax id # is 95-2633200.
Thank you in advance for your quick response, participation and generosity. Your continued support and prayers let us know we are not alone in this fight!
With my love and gratitude,
Rebecca Calagna
