On Saturday, April 12th, a local team supported by a good friend of mine will be walking for Multiple Schlerosis.  The five-mile route starts at 10 a.m. at the Portsmouth Middle School.

Multiple Schlerosis is a devastating disease that affects 14,000 individuals in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and 400,000 people across the country.  Those participating and donating their time to this walk are doing what they can to help and hopefully someday their efforts will help find a cure for this disease.

For every $1.oo raised for Multiple Schlerosis, 85 cents goes towards MS education, support, advocacy and research to help people with multiple sclerosis; 12 cents go towards fundraising; and 3 cents goes towards administration.  If you are interested in walking, feel free to stop by April 12^th in downtown Portsmouth, or go to www.msnewengland.org to find a walk in your area or make a donation.

Best of luck on the walk Carol!!  I'm hoping to see you there!!
