And I would walk 500 miles...

Hey Kids,

My good friend Christina sent me this email today and I'm feeling pretty passionate about it. So passionate that I wanted to share with you guys. I know this economy is sucky and all but any little bit helps. She's only trying to raise $300 but I think we can do better, especially for a cause such as this. Here's what she sent:

Dear Family and Friends,


I have recently registered to ride the MS Best Dam Bike Ride. It's a ride from Pewaukee to Whitewater to Madison, Wisconsin. I will be riding 100 miles each day for two days to support the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. I have a couple friends my age who have this disease and am trying to do my part to support the fight against it. I would appreciate your support no matter how small it may be. Please take the time to read through this email. I appreciate your time.

Love,
Christina

Every hour of every day, someone is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). That's why I registered for Bike MS: Best Dam Bike Ride, and why I'm asking you to support my fund raising efforts with a tax-deductible donation.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society - Wisconsin Chapter is dedicated to a world free of MS, but they can't do it without our help. It's faster and easier than ever to support this cause that's so important to me. Simply click on the link at the bottom of this message. If you prefer, you can send your contribution to the address listed below.

Any amount, great or small, helps to make a difference in the lives of people with MS. I appreciate your support and look forward to letting you know how I do.

  1. Heather! This is to say that I just read your comment, and I gotta say - SLC Pride?! That is soooo awesome!! :D Sometimes I think conservative locales have the BEST Prides, precisely because the gays (and gay allies!) can't wait to go crazy. For example, Houston - one of the most industrial, good ole' boy cities in Texas - has a killer Pride. For serious.

    Also, welcome to Austin soon! You will love it here. :) Have a safe & happy move and see you in September!
