The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is meaningful because my mother had MS and I have been recently diagnosed. This was my first year to raise money for the walk. The event is a great symbol as it represents the mobility that those inflicted fight to control, while others take it for granted.
I've seen the money go to work too. Yes it pays for a lot of administrative costs, but I have been able to participate in some great events. They have forums and informational sessions for people with MS and their families. It goes toward a camp for children living with a family member with MS. What is raised locally, tends to stay locally.
