Raising Funds and Awareness to Fight Multiple Sclerosis
 
On April 25th, hundreds of people from the Washington , DC area gathered to participate in the MS Walk 2009 of the National Capital Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Funds raised from this effort support important research projects as well as assist those living with the challenges of MS. 
 
PRMS was pleased to be a sponsor of Terri Foley, a vibrant young woman from Northern Virginia who was diagnosed with MS nine years ago. She has been active in the National Capital Chapter and has participated for many years in the MS Walk.  A few years ago, she formed Foley’s Foot Soldiers consisting of friends and family committed to raising funds for this effort.  Through the years, members of her family as well as her large circle of friends have participated in the Walk – either as walkers or as sponsors.  This year Foley’s Foot Soldiers was truly a family affair as Terri’s husband, sister, sister-in-law and daughter were among the “foot soldiers.”  PRMS was delighted to join Foley’s Foot Soldiers with a sponsorship contribution.
