Thank you from the MS Society
May 4, 2010 |
Cynthia, our Director of Impressions in our Lethbridge office would like to say thank you to all those that supported her in her Enerflex MS Walk that was on April 24th. With all your help she was able to raise $5435; almost $2000 more than her goal! The walk this year has raised a total of $157,000 in Lethbridge alone. These monies really help in aiding those that live day-to-day with MS and also towards research so that one day this disease will be gone.
According to the MS Site:
Multiple sclerosis is a complex disease. While it is most often diagnosed in young adults, aged 15 to 40, we know that it affects children, some as young as two years old. The impact is felt by family, friends and by the community. MS is unpredictable, affecting vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. Its effects are physical, emotional, financial, and last a lifetime. There is no cure.
Did you know ...
Canadians have one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world.
MS is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in Canada.
Every day, three more people in Canada are diagnosed with MS.
Women are more than three times as likely to develop MS as men.
MS can cause loss of balance, impaired speech, extreme fatigue, double vision and paralysis.
MS was first identified and described by a French neurologist, Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot, in 1868.
We don't know what causes MS but researchers are closer to finding the answer.
You can still help with your donation to this cause. You can donate here and know that you are helping many fellow Canadians.
In the word of Cynthia: I would still be doing the Walk, but your special help means so much to me! I thank you, each and every one of you!
