Support Team Wench in the Fight Against MS!!!

[cyd]

My apologies to those who would see this as crossposted spam, however
it is something very near and dear to my heart...

As some of you may be aware of, the International Wenches Guild
Local
42 is going to be participating in the MS Walk on April 25, in
Annapolis, Maryland! Yes, we have actually
formed
"Team Wench!" This is actually our fourth year in participating
in the
MS Walk! As in past years, Team Wench also includes several men
who
know Wenches who are near and dear to their hearts. Several of
our
local wenches (including myself) have this potentially
debilitating
disease, and we're determined to stamp it out!

This year marks ten years since my diagnosis… And in
commemoration of
that date, I'd like to raise at least ten times what I raised
in my
first year of walking in the MS Walk! My first year, I
rollerbladed
the walk through Liberty State Park, and I raised just over
$150. Last
year, I managed to raise over $1350 (nine years), and this
year, I'd
like to top $1500!

As stated in the MD Chapter webpage:

"Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease of
the
nervous system. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the
limbs,
or severe paralysis or loss of vision. Most people with MS are
diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40, but the unpredictable
physical and emotional effects can be lifelong. The progress,
severity
and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be
predicted,
but advances in research and treatment are giving hope to those
affected by the disease.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to ending
the
devastating effects of multiple sclerosis."

Every hour someone is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS).

we have
"phantom walkers" who can walk from anywhere in the world, and
the
fundraising goes directly to the NMSS!

My thanks to those of you who have already donated to the
cause, and
thanks in advance to those of you who want to help those who
have MS,
and help MDRF's Team Wench make this fourth annual event a good
one!!!

Thanks for all your support!

Hi Allie!

http://www.cafeshops.com/teamwench and http://www.cafeshops.com/teamwench2 are where we have shirts--including a generic one, I believe. For this year's (short) MS Walk, however, we will have a new one to promote our MidSummer event. Watch for the new shirts for the upcoming events!
