There are two organizations that are very dear to my heart: Susan G Comen for the Cure and National Multiple Sclerocis Society. I try to get involved with both in any way I can but so far, it has only been through donations. All that changes in April when my husband and I, along with our aunt, uncle and a few close friends will be participating in the WALK MS 2010.
We've chosen to do the 5-1/2 mile route through our scenic local park and are having t-shirts made in honor of our loved one affected by MS. We are all very excited to get the details ironed out and are really looking forward to the actual event. I imagine it is going to be a fun walk for all of us. Plus, one of our team members is going to have those yummy lemon bars we had served at our wedding baked and ready for us to enjoy at the finish line!! I simply can't wait!
What are some causes or organizations that are important to you? How do you get involved in movements that are important to you?
I love this! Congrats to you for going for it! I too have mostly given donations thus far but will need to think about doing something like this too!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an awesome cause! I love actually DOING thigns for causes rather than just giving money. It makes me feel so accomplished.
ReplyDeleteI ran a marathon in October for the Leukemia and lymphoma society and it was such a rewarding experience.
Those are both great causes. I'm kinda suckish...I find lots of excuses not to get too involved in much. I need to change that :)
ReplyDelete@Chocolate Lover There are lots of fun events like bike rides and I've even seen, for MS anyway OctoBREWfest, which we are totally planning on doing!
ReplyDelete@Joanne Good for you! I've never ran a marathon - I'll have to work my way up to that :)
@Julie - You're not suckish!!! If you are interested in getting involved, you just have to find a cause you really care about!
YOu go girl! I don't think I could walk half a mile right now. I'ze is a lazy out of shape post partum tub o lub at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I even need to say how much this means to me. <3
