DUKE ANESTHESIOLOGY NEWS

2010 National MS Society’s Bike Event

It is again time for the National MS Society’s Bike event. I am so ex-cited because this year my daughter and her fiancé will ride with the team. This year has more meaning than ever; it will be our third year of riding. In September a new drug that you can take by mouth instead of injecting it will be available. Also, research has begun on a theory that an abnormality in blood drainage from the brain and spinal cord, may contribute to nervous system damage in MS. This phenomenon is called CCSVI. These are only a couple of the new findings in re-search. These findings and research mean a lot to me living with MS. My family and co-workers are taking on the challenge in riding from 30 -100 miles September 11th to raise as much money as we can to keep this research ongoing. These programs, services, and advocacies re-quire $1.7 million for the 4300 people living with MS here in Eastern North Carolina. My personal goal is to try to raise more than $1,000.00 through this event. I would like you to join me in supporting this real cause by making a contribution toward my fund raising efforts. The Na-tional Multiple Sclerosis Society is a non-profit S01(c)(3) organization, so any donation you make will be tax deductible. Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the cen-tral nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS in any person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the US and 2.5 million worldwide. I believe in the work that the MS Society is doing to fight this disease and hope that you will join me in supporting them. You can donate to-ward my fundraising by mailing a check made out to The National MS Society. The mailing address is 407 Latta Circle, Durham, NC 27712 no later than September the 9th. To donate online you can visit www.msbike.org. Log on to Beavers Family Dentistry team, Jody Everett team captain. Thank you in advance for your generosity and willing-ness to join the movement to create a world free of MS.
