So excited....
Yes, I do have a life outside of this Walk MS... so I attended to my job for awhile today. But this afternoon I was able to make a few phone calls. And I learned that many of our area restaurants and more than willing to participate in our fundraising event.
I am planning on (dates not set) having Friendly's in the Coventry Mall (the one on Rt. 100 was booked until August) help us with a Spirit Night for Walk MS. If we can make this work, they will donate 10% of ALL of their nights proceeds to our team!!! This is fantastic!!!! I am hoping to schedule this for this month so keep your eyes peeled.
We may also hook up with the new Chili's Rest. in Upland Sq. on Rt. 100. They will make a donation to our team based on all of the people who come in with a Chili's flyer (to be distributed). Hoping to have this one in April.
And tonight, my daughter spoke in front of a room full of parents (HSA meeting), teachers and our principal to show our support for this event. I am SOOO STINKIN' proud of Olivia!
I invite you to write! Do you know someone with MS? Share with us.

How awesome to be able to take your family out for dinner and have some money go towards our team!! So excited for this - thanks for making those calls Jennie. I'm looking forward to eating out and supporting our team at the same time!!
ReplyDeleteI was so proud of Olivia, Jennie's daughter, when she stood solo in front of our older eyes last night... she was well-spoken and so composed! This is one brave little girl and we are so lucky to have her on our team.
Guy called me a couple hours ago and shared with me that my medicine arrived safely. The nurse is coming on Friday for the injection training. Life as a pin cushion will begin then. I'm both anxious to begin treatment for MS, but nervous about this stage. Continued prayers are appreciated!
Keep encouraging others to join or support our Walk MS team!! Let's strive to be #1 in fundraising!!
