2010 MS Walk on April 18th!!
Dear Friends and Family:
I hope the holidays brought you all Health, Happiness, and Joy!! Wow, 2010...A New Decade!! Last year was filled with reconnecting with old friends, making new friends, and staying busy volunteering at the organizations I love! And with that being said, here it is: My annual MS Pledge letter!!
Thank you for your contribution to the success of Team Dixie 2009! Our team was one of the largest in CT and raised close to $8000! For the second year in a row we got voted Best Team Spirit for the Simsbury Walk site! Woo Hoo!! I intend to bring this spirit on through this New Year !!
The 2010 MS Walk is on April 18th! I am so excited. Four great teams are joining forces! My team, Team Dixie, Emily Macdonald's team, Team Em and Friends, Kelly Sterling's team, Team Kelly and Co. and the top fund raising team that I was a member of when I first Joined the Movement, Team G, Formed by Geizha Ahles! We're stepping out again in 2010, not as separate teams.
This is a group effort! Introducing,
The MS Kateers!
Every year new and better treatments are being developed due to the money raised for MS research. Despite these difficult economic times, I cannot stop my efforts to fundraise for the cure of this terrible disease. Just recently, a 17 year old girl became bedridden due to MS and an 18 year old high school football player had to stop his game due to his diagnosis...It makes me so sad to hear of these cases, but gives me all the more ammo to keep in the fight.
I ask you again, will you please donate? It is so greatly appreciated by all of us who depend on the funding that makes the continued research for a cure possible.

MS Walk 2009
Dear Friends and Family,
The MS Walk, that took place on April 19th was once again a success! Thank you for your contribution to Team Dixie!! I set our goal to $5000 this year, and I am pleased to announce that our total is $7442.20!! The donation deadline has been extended to June 15th, which means we may even rise above this total!! I am always in a big hurry to get my thank you's out, so if you keep checking my team page, you will see any updated totals! http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/teamdixie2009.
Thank you for your great photography: Stacey Hale, Jess Ludorf, Ali Moran, Wendy Nielsen, Mike Renzullo, Mary Root, and Ivana Walker. Thank you Paul Berg (http://www.technologyoncall.com/) for helping me get the blog started. I will also be posting our team total on this blog after the June 15th deadline!
One day, as I started fund raising for the MS Walk, I ordered Chinese. I opened up my fortune and loved what I saw, “An important person will offer you support”. My fortune rests, taped to my computer monitor. As the donations came in, and my team grew, I realized that my fortune came true! YOU are that important person! YOU are so appreciated, THANK YOU so much!
Most Sincerely,
Shannon
Shannon
UPDATE: The final total raised by the 86 members of Team Dixie is $7923.45! Thank you so much everyone, for your contribution!
