Hey all!

Some of you may know that my mom suffers from MS. My wife and I are are doing the Bike MS event 31.May in Western Michigan. We're still taking donations though, and were hoping the POTN community might help out. The link to my personal page with the MS Society for ePledging is here (http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/MIGBikeEvents?px=5010532&pg=personal&fr_id=9080&et=sowxBI5Un3rMNpwsRDn3MQ..&s_tafId=73300).

As for keeping it peripherally photography related, the event is on and around Lake Michigan, so assuming that I'm not dead from peddling too hard, I'll be taking some photos on the shoreline that evening. Should be fun. :)


Thanks!

-Jesse

Enjoy the ride! I do the MS Bike Tour in Vancouver... we only go about 60km and it is around the city.

Done.

Sorry to hear about your mother.

I hope that she's is stable and enjoying life.

Sam,

Thank you so much. She is fairly stable most of the time. When her eyes go or her hand freezes up, she gets really frustrated, but after over a decade with it, she's still mobile and enjoys life most of the time. We're very lucky. :)

You're welcome / thx.

There are many POTN members who have the means to help you reach your goal.

Let's see how many surface in a display of support now.

In case I cannot get a mod otherwise, if one sees this thread, can the title be changed to "Multiple Sclerosis Donations for my Mother"? It's been brought to my attention that "Bike MS Donations" might not be a very useful thread title. Thanks!

If you hit the 'report post' button, ask, then a mod will appear.

It is mod-magic from the mod-squad.

Good!

Good for you.

I work in pharma -- Look very hard for some new drugs in the pipeline.

We have one week left before the ride, everyone. If you are feeling generous over this beautiful holiday weekend, please donate. It would help us out so much! Thank you!

Hey Sam, not yet. Our team goal was $2,000, so basically $1k each. We're at $1,261.00 right now. Getting close! :)
