2012 Carolinas Challenge Walk MS
Statler Financial Services Help Our Team in the Fight Against MS!
March 2 thru March 4, 2012

The number of people living with multiple sclerosis increases every hour of every day. This astonishing rate is not going to slow down, let alone stop, until we've found a cure. Research has made some incredible advances recently, but the world can still only offer disease management drugs and therapies to the 400,000 people living with MS in America.

We've formed a team for the MS Walk because the National Multiple Sclerosis Society funds more MS research than any other private organization. In addition to supporting studies which hope to reveal the cause and course of the disease, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society also provides much needed education, programs, and services to everyone who is affected by MS - including the diagnosed, their friends and families, and the healthcare professionals who work with them.

Upward Basketball, association’s memberships or service

Every Saturday for the past few months I have been coordinating referees each week for Upward Basketball through my church, First Baptist Church of Sebring. Upward was created with the idea to provide the best sports experience for children. Their mission is to bring out “the winner” in every child regardless of the game’s score. Churches around the country partner with Upward Sports to teach kids sportsmanship, skill building and fun versus the typical “win at all cost” mentality. It is wonderful to watch the children grow and develop during each season, and I look forward to volunteering again next year. If you would like more information on Upward Sports you can visit them on the web http://www.upward.org.
