MS Support Update

Hi everyone!

Wow, what can I say about you and your support for this years fund
raising efforts for the MS Society. Because of your contribution, you
have made a person with MS life a little easier. I know for some of
you that are facing hard times and struggling to make ends meet;
believe me that we’re all pulling for you because those are the type
of friends I have in this email distribution list.

As we approach Thanksgiving in less than a few weeks from today, I
know one thing that I’ll be thankful for is having friends like you
that stepped up and contributed. With as little as a $5 contribution
that was made by my neighbors 8 year old daughter; it has helped the
team surpass it’s goal of $10,000, however, I’m still less than $200
dollar from reaching my goal of $2000. However, rest assured that it
will get accomplished because I still have a few weeks before the
deadline.
