Since I am riding in the Bike MS ride in April this year instead of October, I am planning to incorporate MS Awareness week into the donation solicitation emails I send out to family, coworkers, and friends. I am also going to try to get several of the local businesses that I am a long time customer of (doctor's offices/veterinarians, etc.) to let me put up a donation box in their lobby or at least try to get donations from them as a reward for my years of loyal patronage.
