19 years ago Lenita was diagnosed with MS. As a result of intensive research in the field, we have learned a great deal about MS in the years since then, and several treatments have become available for those with MS. These treatments only slow the progression of the disease, they do not stop or cure it. Lenita is still able to walk today because of these treatments and a lot of hard work on her part. The 2012 Kennewick MS Walk is coming up on April 14 and both of us will be walking to raise money for MS research. Research is learning more and more about the disease, and how to attack it, every day. As a result, there are promising new treatments under development that could have a major impact on the quality of life of MS patients everywhere. I am writing you to ask you to consider making a donation to National MS Society to help us fund this research. A link to our MS Walk Team ("Nita's Friends and the Bald Guy") can be found below, as can a link to my personal MS Walk page. Please help us make MS a thing of the past, one step at a time!
