rockpile Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 This is just a friendly bump to my post that had been pinned in the Off Topic forum for a while. We are currently up to $780, and the walk is this weekend. IF you are so inclined, I would appreciate your support! Thank you, Rock ----------------------------------------------- Through Two Bills Drive and the The Stadium wall, I have been allowed to make an annual request for sponsors for the MS Walk (thanks Scott!). In 2012 TBD and other sponsors raised about $1,250. Total donations since I started this in 2002 on TBD are nearly $12,000! Link to the MS Walk 2013: http://main.national...to/family_rocks Back in 2005, in a post, I wrote: "I was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in 1994. Since then, I have quit smoking, dropped 10 lbs, ran a 10K, hiked mountains from the Adirondacks to the Sierra Madres. I am still in remission, thanks in part to medicine that was NOT available less than a generation ago. With research and maybe some luck, I believe MS will be a curable disease one day; we will be able to do more than just treat the symptoms, or DELAY the next attack." There is still no cure, but the treatment for preventing a relapse has gone from daily injections (ugh) and monthly chemo-type IV drip bags to a daily pill that is about 75% effective in preventing relapses. Progress is being made! My team is a regular group of friends and family now, and includes three generations of my immediate family - I am Grandpa Rockpile. ------------------------------------- 12 sponsors 8 from TBD/TSW Thanks are due to: Just Jack babyrock Jayrubeo Fezmid Hammer BringBackFergy GG LABillzFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
