Default Donation jars in places LMAO.

So I was in Burger King today and on the counter sat two huge jars with "Help us walk for MS and fight the devastating effects" So I put in a dollar and some pennies lol. I'm standing there like "Holy ***** I have MS and I am part of a "donation charity" in the worst way
I see them all over the place for Autism, heart disease(I'm a big supporter of) and breast cancer awareness. But today I found a "Multiple Sclerosis Jar"

And it felt weird.

I'm sitting in Arbys right now and they have a Muscular dysterophy Jar...

Those things are all over the place!

It is a strange feeling when you put money in a donation jar that will benefit you in some way. Or your good friend's husband is looking for donations because he's doing the MS bike ride and when you donate you get that strange feeling again.

It's kind of like me volunteering at the National MS Office. I've helped copy and put together pamphlets for classes on balance and exercise and sat there reading the materials to see what it's all about and how I could use that information.

Even though I've been doing Walk MS forever I still get a little funky feeling when I hear that someone is doing the walk.
