National MS Society - Challenge Walk: The Scrap Dog Team

How can you help?

Thank you.

Our 2008 goal of $25,000 was exceeded because of your generousity. Our 2009 Goal is $25,000 again. Are you able to help? Our 2009 goal will be updated in an attached comment as the year progresses.

Today, there is no cure for multiple sclerosis, and with diagnosis occurring most frequently between the ages of 20 and 50, many individuals face a lifetime filled with unpredictability.

This event is a challenge - and an opportunity - for everyone involved, participants and donors alike. With commitment to this cause, we can all be part of a historic undertaking. The funds raised from the MS Challenge Walk will not only support research to help create a world free of multiple sclerosis, but also provide programs which address the needs of hundreds of thousands of people living with MS right now. Because we choose to walk for those who sometimes can't. Because we choose to donate to the MS Challenge Walk, we are getting ever closer to the hour when no one will have to hear the words, "You have MS."

Scrap Dogs take to the airways!

Press releases have been sent out to various Rhode Island and Massachusetts TV and radio stations, newpapers and magazines asking for listings in their calendar of events either on their websites, on air or in print for our fundraiser event at Jimmy's Saloon on November 21st.

We have listings on a few web site calendars including empowher.com, rimonthly.com and projo.com.

But Monday, October 27th, we made it to the airways because around 10:30 this morning, Jenn on WHJY 94 PRO FM did a nice community listing concerning our event including date, time, location and a brief MS snipet! We also have a community listing on WHJJ also.

Keep your ears open while listening to the radio or TV and watch those newspapers because you never know when and where the Scrap Dogs are going to show up!

Thank you clear channel, empowher.com and all the others for the listings.

See our calendar listing at http://whjy.com/pages/community_calendar.html?feed=105404&article=4460236
