Default Join my MS Walk 2007 Team

Dear Friends,

As many of you know, in the summer of 2003 I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I am participating in the 2007 MS LifeLines MS Walk and I'm inviting you to join my team as a Walker, Virtual Walker, Volunteer, or Supporter!

By joining my team, you will be signing up not just for a day of fun, but also for a celebration of the great things we can achieve when working together for a common cause. Each step we take brings us one step closer to a cure - and closer to a world without multiple sclerosis. So what are you waiting for? Join my team today or make a donation on my behalf.

Thank you for supporting me in my effort to fund education, support, and research to find a cure for MS.

Kind regards and love,

CoreyAnn Khan

P.S. If you would like more information about the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, how proceeds from the MS Walk are used, or the other ways you can get involved in the fight against MS, please visit www.nationalmssociety.org/was.

It's amazing how many people in the northwest are touched by the effects of multiple sclerosis. Our area has THREE times the national average of people living with MS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH DOUG!!!

You are welcome CA, It is such a strange disease. No one seems to know what triggers it or how to cure it. Research is paramount in finding a cure and it's money well spent.

Did you know that the Pacific Northwest has a higher incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS) than almost anywhere else in the world? In fact, a child born in our community is twice as likely to be diagnosed with MS in his or her lifetime than any other child in America. No one knows exactly what causes MS, or why it’s so prevalent in our part of the world.

It is April 15th, 2007/Tax Day in Seattle. Other cities in the area are on April 14th.

I'm looking for team members who want to walk with me and/or virtually support my team.

In terms of sponsorship, you can donate to any of my team members.

Or if you (Victor), as a dealer, or Scion Corporate want to learn about corporate sponsorship levels of the event I can send that information to you. It might be a great thing because as a sponsor, Scions can be taken into Husky Stadium that day and set up with the other booths that are there. Last year there were approximately 2500 attendees/volunteers at the Husky Stadium/Seattle walk site. I know one of the selling points on my xB was the ease of getting in/out of it with my fatigue & mobility issues.

Let me know if there is something you have in mind to help.

I started my own team within my company. MS has effected my life dramatically because my mom has it. Its effected my whole family. I will be walking for not only my mom, my neighbor and CoreyAnn but for everyone else who is effected by this horrible disease.


If you would like to make a donation please do so by going here - http://main.nationalmssociety.org/si...nal&fr_id=1240

I dont care if you make a donation to mine or CoreyAnns just make sure you help one of us out by either walking or making a donation!

Thanks

Corey Ann,

Great job raising awareness for MS. It has hit close to home with us as well. In the past few years we have had loved ones diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. My sister-in-law (lives in Idaho) and my wife's brother-in-law (lives in Montana). My sister-in-law has done some research and agrees that it's something about the NW. The NW has a much higher rate of MS than anywhere.

We donate and support them every year in the MS walk. Unfortunately we can't attend your event but good luck and we will be thinking of you. You are a great advocate for MS and keep up the great work! A cure will be found!

Take care,
Greg & Audri
