We need your help! - DPChallenge Forums

Hi all,

I know I've been away for a while (the economy being what it is, I'm working my 2nd job a lot more than I was before).

Many of you know that I've been involved with helping to find a cure for MS since 2002, and have helped me along the way. This weekend, I will be walking 50 kilometers (30 miles) for MS. The money raised from this walk not only funds research to find better treatments and ultimately a cure for MS, but also to provide essential services to people living with MS today. In order to be eligible to walk, I am required to raise a total of $1,500. I'm about 2/3 of the way there counting offline donations. The DPC community has always come through for me (and, more importantly, for people living with MS) in a big way, and we're counting on you again this year.

Would you please take a moment to make a donation to help this worthy cause? You can donate online here. A donation of $50 ($1/km) would be great, but, of course, any donation amount helps tremendously. Donations of even $5 or $10 add up quickly, and make a big difference.

The walk is coming up this weekend, so there isn't much time. Thanks in advance for your generous support!

~Terry

I cant help as much as I did last year Terry. But after the help I got with my fundraiser this past week, how could I say no. Donation sent in Brandon's name.

Wow, thanks so much to everyone who donated last night! At this rate it won't be long until I hit the $1,500 requirement!

(quick shameless bump for the morning folks, too) :o)

Since this is in danger of going off the front page,
I'll just note that fact, and with these very wordy
words, keep it where people can see it.

Or in other words: "Bump"

counting the checks I've received offline, I'm at $1485. Tht's just a few dollars short of the minimum requirement, but obviously the more I can raise, the closer we are to a cure!
