I’m walking toward a world where my sister is free of MS

I’m coming together with thousands of people across the country at Walk MS to raise funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society because a cure is on the line. Now is the time to do everything we can for the nearly 1 million people living with MS in the United States. 
I have set an ambitious fundraising goal, and with your support, I know I can achieve it. The Society is the best investment to solve the challenges of MS - with information, connections and support as well as a global network to achieve a cure.

This year’s new Walk MS experience will showcase why it’s so important for people with MS to be surrounded by the care and understanding of their support system. New Circles of Support will give participants the opportunity to share their place in the MS movement – as someone living with MS, someone who loves and supports a person living with MS or someone who supports the Society’s mission.

As many of you may know, a decade ago my sister was diagnosed with MS. Over the past year, there have been great achievements in the medical community to help those who suffer from MS, and there are more to come. Please consider donating to Walk MS on my behalf as I attempt to beat my fundraise from last year and top $5,000 (previously $3,650 or 10 bucks for every day in the year). To everyone that contributed last year, thank you, we combined to once again be one of the top fundraisers in Westchester County and hopefully this year we can do even better!

To that end, I commit to the following:

If I raise $5,000, I will run a 5k,

If I raise $10,000, I will run a 10k,

If I raise $13,100, I will run a half marathon, and

If I somehow raise $26,200, I will run a marathon.  Seriously.
