 Dear Friends;
Â
Every hour of every day, another person is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. We need to take action now to help the growing number of people who experience symptoms such as fatigue, numbness, loss of vision and partial paralysis. This is why the “First Savings Walking Warriors” will be participating in Walk MS this spring to help the 11,000 local people and their families living with MS.
Â
Today, there is no cure for MS, but we’re fighting to change that. Please help by making a donation to fight MS or, why not join us on the day of the event? Become a participant and side by side, as teammates, we can work together to raise the funds to make a difference.
Â
If you and any family members are interested in joining the First Savings Walking Warriors for MS team please contact me at DSchaffer@firstsavingsonline.com  before March 26th. This year’s walk is being held on Sunday, April 25th at Lenape Park in Sellersville. This will be our eleventh year walking for MS.
 Â
In 2009 over 430 walkers came together to make their mark against MS by raising over $60,000. Last year the Walking Warriors for MS raised $2,078.00 and First Savings Community Foundation contributed $1,000 for a total of $3,078.00. My challenge for the 2010 team is to raise $4,000.00 or more. So please donate today.
Â
Walk MS is a key fundraiser of the National MS Society, the leading provider services and programs for people living with MS and their families. The Society also invests more money in MS research than any other volunteer-driven organization in the world.
Â
When you donate to Walk MS, you become part of a powerful movement that will end MS forever. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Â
Sincerely,
Diana Schaffer
