I know, I know… there are a million people out there asking you to donate your hard earned money for a cause.  Telethons, walkathons, raffles, school fundraisers, church fundraisers, sports team fundraisers… the list goes on and on.  Its not often that I talk about my personal life here on the blog.  However, the annual Walk for MS is approaching and we’ve begun assembling our team.

“MS, you say?”  Yes, Multiple Sclerosis.  “But that’s treatable right?!” For many there are treatments that really work and really help.  Unfortunately, not all forms of MS have and FDA approved medications or treatments for them.  The way we fight this is for more money and more research.

A few years ago, my husband – my amazing wonderful gift from God husband, started having some strange things going on.  He was having intense fatigue and deep leg pain that no medication was even touching.  Things progressed and after alot of drs appointment we found an answer.  My husband has Primary Progressive MS.  PPMS is one of the more rare forms of MS that really have no helpful treatments for.   So my husband is left in pain pretty much every hour of every day of his life.  You would never know it unless you noticed him limping or watched my vibrant, young, seemingly healthy husband use a cane on long walks.  He’s determined not to let this thing stop him and we are all determined that they (meaning the wonderful doctors and researchers out there working hard) WILL give him some hope and some relief one day.  So I’m asking YOU to help us!

The event happens on April 10th, 2010.  Registration begins at 9:00 am and the walk begins at 10:30 am.  Its a 1 mile walk (nothing too strenuous, I promise!!) at the Barfield Crescent Park here in Murfreesboro, you can find registration at Shelter #7.

If you can, join our team or sponsor us.  If not, please include us in your prayers as we walk!
