Hello all, <br /><br />I know most of you know me, some may not, mostly because I have been super busy with work lately... <br /><br />I am participating in the MS Walk, here in Carlsbad, CA on April 21st. <br /><br />The reason I have chosen to do so is in support of my close family members. When I was three years old, my great-aunt died from Multiple Sclerosis. Everyone said that she loved me so much. She nicknamed me Christopher Robin, after the Whinnie-the-Pooh character. I can remember her being in a wheel chair always sitting in the corner just smiling at everyone. <br /><br />My uncle has MS and has had it for the last 10 years or so. He is the strongest person I've ever seen with MS. Even though he is in a wheel chair now, because he can't walk, he is always making people laugh and smile. I love that he is as happy as he is. Everyone knows what pain he is in because they all went through it with my Great Aunt. <br /><br />As for my cousin he has just recently been diagnosed with it and can still walk but is losing his motor skills quickly. He did the MS Walk in Ohio, walking for his Father before He loses his ability to walk. <br /><br />I'm not here begging for money, I'm merely here asking that you please donate a small amount towards finding a glimmer if hope that we can figure out how to cure this disease. It will have taken out 3 members of my family, all on my mother's side. <br /><br />The link to donate, is in my signature at the bottom. If you're on your phone, please check back on a computer. <br /><br />I truly appreciate anything and everything you guys can give and this isn't for me, this is for everyone suffering from MS. I'm just trying to do my part by walking out here in Southern California, because I'm stationed here and my family is back in Minnesota, Ohio and Texas. <br /><br />Thank you everyone!<br />Mark.<br /><br /><br />Sent from my mind using telekinesis.
