MS Walkathon Review, and Thank You's

Hi all,


Your generosity speaks volumes, and I personally can't thank you enough for helping us get one step closer to a cure so that we can finally erase the words 'Multiple Sclerosis' from everyone's vocabulary.

It is because of YOU that we raised a grand total of $1,050 in essentially a couple of weeks. I couldn't be more proud of all the work we accomplished together, as a team, and as people... in really putting our minds behind a cause and just doing our part to help.... I am so excited for the year-round fundraising plans I'm collaborating with the MS Society of Canada on.

It looks as though the unofficial money raised for the Mississauga-Streetsville walk alone was $42,000. Incredible!

Thank you to everyone who shared their stories with us on how MS has affected yourselves, your family, and your loved ones.
We are truly thankful for your support, your friendship, and your motivation in helping us help thousands of others be MS-free for good.
Thank you to everyone who was a part of Team Habibees, and walked on behalf of my best friend Safiya, and everyone else affected with MS.

The event itself went off without a hitch. The energy and atmosphere was great...all the teams were lovely... everyone's motivation and drive for a cure was prevalent. Our team,Habibees, even won best dressed team! That was pretty cute! (Photos to come soon, hopefully!)

I would really like to send you each a personal thank-you, so if you could reply back with your mailing addresses I'd be thrilled to send something your way soon. We really couldn't have done this without you.

Also, a reminder that for the next two weeks, our page is still available to receive online donations, at http://tinyurl.com/hbeesMS
I know a few of you asked if it was too late to make a pledge since the walk has passed, and, it isn't... please spread this amongst your contacts who had the same question (I don't have their e-mails) and feel free to forward this e-mail on!

Again, thank you.
Have yourselves a fantastic start to your week!
Desiree & Team Habibees
