Dear Friend, I am participating in the National MS Society's Bike MS event, September 10-11 in New Bern, NC, for the fourth year in a row. l am very excited to be contributing to a great cause and participating in such a challenging event. In 2010, over 2,800 participants raised $1,628,256 to create a world free of MS. This year, the goal is to raise $1.7 million for MS research, programs, services, and advocacy for the 5,400 people living with MS here in eastern North Carolina! We can do it with YOUR HELP!
Your support of this great cause by making a contribution toward my fundraising efforts would be greatly appreciated. To help incent donors, the MS Society of Eastern NC has set up a challenge that runs September 1 - 9. For every $25 donated, you will earn one chance to win an iPad2.
Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the US and 2.5 million worldwide.
I believe in the work that the National MS Society is doing to fight this disease and hope that you will join me in supporting them. Thanks in advance for your generosity and willingness to join the movement to create a world free of MS.
To Safe and Healthy Cycling,
Carol
