I got this email today from my local MS Society chapter. I volunteered at one of the Walk MS events in April 2008. Keep in mind that the funds raised are from ONE chapter. It’s great to see so many people coming out and supporting the cause– thanks to all of the walkers and participants who raised pledges!

September 2008

Dear MS Walk participants:

For those of you who participated in Walk MS 2008, congratulations on your hard work and dedication to creating a world free of MS. Walk MS 2008 raised over $1.1 million – thanks to all of you! And, be sure to save the date for Walk MS 2009-Sunday, April 19th. I hope that you all will “join the movement” so that we can continue on our important journey to help more and more people with MS.

You have all done an amazing job over the years and we cannot thank you enough!!

Sincerely,

Patricia Tupycia, Director, Walk MS & Corporate Relations

    Hi Lanette–

    I WISH I walked for the event. I actually volunteered at the registration tables. I did this in 2007, too. All of a sudden there’s this onslaught of registering walkers…individuals, teams, corporate teams. I actually saw my disability lawyer there last year! I met a bunch of great volunteers with MS.

    The reason the chapter earned so much is that there were about 5 walks going on that day. Plus, as you know from formerly living in Pennsylvania, NJ’s VERY densely populated, so 1 chapter + 5 walks = lots of dough!

    Thanks for stopping by and I’ll talk to ya again soon.

    Jen
