It is!

Donating directly is best, (since there are no PayPal fees that way, but if you prefer to use PayPal you can send the donation to me at paypal [at] clubjuggle dot com. I'll then submit the full amount of the donation to the MS Society, covering any PayPal fees.

Thanks!

Terry - can you occasionally post an update with your total and how close you are to meeting your goal?

Bump on Terry's behalf. A very worthy cause. For those of you who may not have worked with the foundation that sponsors these walks/runs/bike rides, I can assure you through personal experience that they do a top-notch job with the events, AND that the support they provide really does get out to those who need it. While this may support Terry's area - and much of the money does stay local - some does go to the national organization to help out in the grander scheme of things. But for the most part, the money raised provides direct services to folks with MS. It's definitely worth your support if you can swing it.


Deb, I agree wholeheartedly with your endorsement. For the Challenge Walks, there are only about 10-12 such walks around the country each year. For these events, a significant amount of the money does go toward research. The National MS Society is the largest private (non-government) source of MS research funding in the world. Your donations help make this happen, and, as Deb also mentioned, also provide immediate and much-needed services to people living with MS today.

Thanks,
~Terry

I can! As of right now, you have helped me to raise $1,135. This is over 75% of the minimum walker requirement of $1,500, and 38% of my "reach goal" of $3,000. Thank you all for your support!

If you've already donated (or even if you can't), and especially if you have a personal connection with MS, I encourage you to spread the word to your friends! Please send them a link to this thread and/or my donation page, and include a short note telling them why this is so important to you. Also, if you have MS or know someone who does, please let me know their names, I'll include them on the "I'm walking for..." sign that I pin to my shirt during the walk.

Thanks so much!

Terry I have been watching the slideshow on your donation page, but the first slide goes by too fast to read the license plate. What does it say?

Terry, what is your drop dead cut off date for contributions? I don't get paid until next week and we are on a down to the penny "paycheck to paycheck" budget right now. I will fudge a little next week if that isn't too late.

Good grief, this dropped off my front page. We can't have that.
So, (er) bump.

Little Sunday morning bump

Sent a little contribution your way Terry. I love that you take the time to do this every year.
 10/04/2009 03:21:31 PM · #45
Just a quick update... We're up to $1,483. That is 49% of my fundraising goal and 99% of the minimum walker requirement. If you haven't donated, there is still time. If you have, thank you for your generous support!
10/05/2009 07:50:58 AM · #46
Were now up to $1,508! That means I've reached the minimum requirement, and 50% of my goal, with nearly 2 weeks to go.

If you can, please help spread the word. I can use all the help I can get!

A Tuesday morning bump.
 10/06/2009 02:29:19 PM · #48
As promised, here's another update!

A few additional donations from non-DPC friends have brought my total to $1,728. That is 58% of my goal!

I'll continue to keep everyone updated, but in the meantime, if you haven't had a chance to donate, here is the link: //www.nationalmssociety.org/goto/clubjuggle2009

Thanks!
