MS Lifelines Walk

[Platt]

For Platt's Father:

I'm asking you to join me in the 2009 MS Lifelines Walk MS in
Denver on May 2, 2009 because this is a disease that is meaningful to
me. Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects the central nervous system, which
means that you may not be able to walk when you wake up. Or that you
may suddenly have impaired vision. Or that your memory may fail you for no apparent reason.

MS occurs most frequently between the ages of 20 and 50, many
individuals and their families face a lifetime filled with challenges
and unpredictability because as of today the cause of MS is unknown and there is no cure. The only certainty is that MS will affect yet another person every hour of every day.

I've registered for the 2009 MS Lifelines Walk MS because I want to
do something for the people who have been diagnosed with this disease.
The funds raised from this fun event help the Colorado Chapter of the
National MS Society provide programs, education and advocacy for the
72,000 Coloradans affected by MS. Funds also support vital research
that will bring us closer a world free of MS. In 2008 the Colorado
Chapter invested $974,000 in research and $3.3 million in programs and
services here in Colorado.

Because I choose to walk for those who sometimes can't, because I
choose to donate to the Walk, we are getting closer to the hour when no one will have to hear the words, "You have MS."

Please join me and thanks for your support.

We are planning on going in garb if we get enough Rennies to walk with us.

So far it is Platt, His Dad, Me, and at least one other.
