Team JS4MS is back....Please join us

There are so many distractions in today's world. We're all being pulled in hundreds of directions, that sometimes we don't have time to give back. Many days I feel like the day goes by in 15 minutes, and I didn't get a thing accomplished. Last year was one of those years, where I just didn't have time to give back. For 10 years prior, Margi & I had co-Captained "Team JS4MS", our "team" in the Washington, DC area's annual MS Walk, to raise funds that go toward research to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. In those 10+ years, we have raised just over $182, 000, and last month at an awards ceremony in Chicago I was an honored as an inductee into the National MS Society's "Volunteer Hall of Fame". Unfortunately, due to a prior commitment, I was not able to attend, so last week in DC, I visited the MS Society's office, and was given this ribbon and a beautiful engraved plaque by chapter President, Chris Broullire and Betsy O'Brien Anderson VP of Development at the Society. I really appreciated all the kind words they had to say during my visit.

TEAM JS4MS is BACK, and accepting donations, and hopefully more & more team members for the 2009 MS Walk. This year's walk takes place on Saturday April 29, 2009. Mark your calendars now. Join us...Drop me a note for more info, or for us to add you to our info emails.

We all need to make the time to give back, the funds raised for research is helping and most importantly working, I know first hand.
