    On December 17, 1996 my mom lost a 20 year battle with Multiple Sclerosis. She was 48 years old.
    EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY, SOMEONE IS DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. That's why I registered for Walk MS 2009, and why I'm asking you to support my fundraising efforts with a tax-deductible donation.

    MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn't. That's why I am participating in Walk MS. During the event, thousands of walkers and volunteers will join forces to raise funds and awareness and to move us all closer to a world free of MS.

    It's faster and easier than ever to support this cause that's so important to me. Simply click on the link at the bottom of this message and make a secure online donation. If you prefer, you can mail a contribution to me.

    Any amount, great or small, helps to make a difference in the lives of people with MS. Thank you in advance for your support.
    Thank you!
    Paul Immo

    Thanks for your kind words!

    The walk is not until April (so you have time), but I signed up today... I talked to a friend of mine in Detroit today. He found out he had MS 2 years ago (he is 32) and he is not doing well at the present time. Made me feel terrible... I am going to drive up to Detroit and see him in the next few weeks.

    I am already up to $125.00. Last year I raised over $4000.00

    Immo, I feel your pain. I HAVE MS and know the daily pain of living with this disease. I can't walk the walk due to my MS, but I do support a local friend of mine who walks. Good luck and I hope that you get a lot of donations....Us MSers need all the help we can get.....

    IMMO, Thank you so much for this post and your contribution. My father has had MS for over 15years now. It was not until six months ago that he progressed to advanced stages of MS and was diagnosed. For the past 15years he was told by every doctor that he had that he had 2 strokes about 3 years apart. So last year when he started having trouble walking and lost most of the use of his right arm and hand he thought he had had another stroke but after going to the Cleveland clinic several times he was diagnosed with MS. He is 50 years old now and out of work.

    :usflag:THANK YOU:usflag:

    Keith,

    I am never sure what to say when I hear stories like this. MS does not get enough attention. I am just doing what I can to help. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
