Yes, I know, I can man a booth or just pledge money, but I really don't feel like supporting this idea. I think it is a darn shame that they do not have any fundraising events for disabled people!

I ask the following question in a non confrontational manner. Prior to being diagnosed with MS did you ever participate in the MS Walk or any other charitable Walk. There are MANY fundraising Events out there. The NMSS hasn't always had the walk , bike, mud run ect. They've added them as they were thought of or created.
Legzalot... I challenge YOU to create a Fundraising Event we the dis-abled or in my case differently abled can particiapte in.
There are women who have a Luncheon, mid week, last 1-2 hrs, educational, good food and indoors. Donations made at the end of lunch. They raise a phenominal amount. There is no physical exertion but it is a fundraiser.
How about creating a wii fundraising event. I'd be there for that event.
