CHAPTER AWARDS CEREMONY CELEBRATES TOP WALK MS: RICHMOND FUNDRAISERS, VOLUNTEERS & EVENT SPONSORS On Thursday, June 7th, the Central Virginia Chap-ter held a special awards/recognition ceremony to thank its top fundraising Walk MS: Richmond partic-ipants, its Walk MS and Bike MS sponsors and its event volunteers. It was a beautiful evening at the MS Innsbrook offices and clas-sic rock band, ALL IN, pro-vided a fun atmosphere for the ceremony. Guests were in high spirits as they were able to meet Chapter staff, mingle with other par-ticipants, and discuss their favorite aspects of the

Richmond Walk. Walk MS is the rallying point of the MS movement, a commu-nity coming together to raise funds and celebrate hope for the future. The Chapter’s an-nual signature fundraising event is a chance for partici-pants to do something about MS NOW. This awards cere-mony was a way to honor and thank those members of the community who go above and beyond in the fight to end MS. A very spe-

cial thank you and congratulations goes out to the Chapter’s top fundraisers!

STORY SPOTLIGHT WHY DID I JOIN THE MOVEMENT?

MATT GREGORY, SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATOR

Central Virginia Chapter of the National MS Society I have been a virtual rider in the Bike MS event on Team BRUCE (Bikers Ride Until a Cure Ex-ists) for the last 2 years, raising over $1,300 each year. I wanted to make a difference for my parents and for everyone else who lives with MS.

I enjoy telling the story of how I joined Team BRUCE. During the Bike MS of 2010, word got to several Team BRUCE members that due to my own physical disability I had never ridden a bike. Built for Bruce Lowery, a team member who has MS, team members had modified a bike so that it could be attached to another bike and pulled along . So after they crossed the finish line in Williamsburg several team members helped me get on the modified bike, and they took me on my first bike ride, which ended with the cheers of on-lookers as we crossed the finish line. I

was very moved and honored that after riding 75 miles on a bicycle they went one more mile pulling me along, and al-lowing me to experience what it feels like to ride a bike. That inspired me to join Team BRUCE in raising the critical funds and awareness that we need to end MS forever.

I ‘ride’ and will continue to ‘ride’ for my parents, who both have to face the chal-lenges of living with MS, for my co-workers and their family members who are af-fected by MS, for Bruce Lowery, the heart & soul of Team BRUCE, and for a day when MS no longer exists.

I still have not reached my goal of $2,000 for 2012. If you would like to donate please visit my website: http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/MattGregory.

CHERYL ROSSER, ADVOCACY COORDINATOR & CHAPTER VOLUNTEER

Central Virginia Chapter of the National MS Society I had been passively involved in the MS movement since 1994, the year my husband was diagnosed with MS. However, over the years our children insisted that we take a more active role in this battle, as they were watching us become more and more frustrated with the unpredictability of MS. So we started moving and hence, MS Walk Team “Operation Rescue Dad” was born. Participating in the MS Walk once a year just didn’t seem like enough, so I contacted the local MS chapter to become more active all year. Volunteering as an Advocacy Coordinator has been extremely rewarding because I am totally “plugged in” to a cause that needs constant energy to persevere some of the most unpredictable “short circuits” and “power outages”.

Meeting with the legislators and discussing the issues that are so para-mount to bringing awareness to MS allows me to see the importance of being actively engaged. It means an enormous amount for me and my family to see all the work that goes into the fight for the cure of MS up close. It is important not only for the person living with MS to keep mov-ing but also the family and friends because sometimes we feel so exhaust-ed and want to stop moving as well. I joined the movement for none other than my wonderful husband, because it makes him very happy to see me give so much of myself to fight for a world free of MS!!!

2 Days, 30 Miles Join us for the 10th Anniversary Capital Challenge Walk MS presented by Secor Group on Sept. 22-23, 2012 For more information & to register visit: www.moveVA.org and click on the Challenge Walk Button.

This year’s Bike MS was held on June 2-3. With just over 500 riders and two beautiful days of riding, the event was extremely successful. Rid-ers had the opportunity to choose a two day route from Richmond to Williamsburg, or a shorter, one-day route around Richmond. We had an incredible turnout of teams for our bike event, including Capital Ale House, Team BRUCE, Team Rim Rid-ers, and Team Unknown Yellow, just to name a few. Local television sta-tion, CBS 6—which had three em-ployees ride in this year’s event, An-chor and Reporter Lorenzo Hall, Pro-ducer Pierce Sharpe and Master Con-trol Operator Eric Lee—broadcasted the live kick-off countdown on its morning news television show. There were men and women of all ages, abil-ity levels and reasons for riding at the start line. Isaac San Soucie, the team captain for Team Hot Buttered Buns, is only fourteen years old

and the 2012 ride marked his second year riding. He raised $1275 and reached Thousandaire status in hon-or of his mother who has been diag-nosed with MS. Many of the Bike MS participants have ridden for multiple years. Ow-en Lindauer, a member of the Capital Ale team, has been riding for Bike MS for fifteen years, five of which were at Bike MS: Ride Virgin-ia. Owen’s love of riding was apparent because he rode the whole route with a toy bike taped to his helmet—a fun sight for everyone! With all of your help and support, Bike MS: Ride Virginia has grown to be a popular and fun bike event in the area. We’d like to extend a big thank you to all of our sponsors: The Page Auto Group, Screens ‘n’ Suds, UPS, Miles of Scarves, Ernst and Young, EMD Serono, Agee’s Bicycles, Diamond Springs, City Ice, SCVNGR, Conte’s Bicycles and Fitness Equip-ment, DJ Eric Lee, Red Robin, Ad-vanced Visual Production, and Man-chester Volunteer Rescue Squad.

BIKE MS: 2012, A RIDER’S THOUGHTS… "During the MS charity ride, mile after mile, the wind blew. The dust, pollen and just the 15 mph force punished the eyes. I took medicine to fight off a cold, a stuffiness in the chest and back of my nose. The road itself created a buzz, numbing the hands, the feet, the crotch. There were mo-ments of blindness, pain, frustration, anticipa-tion of an end that is soon to come at a rest stop or hopefully the finish line. The agony of the day was ever present, some-times overwhelming, and always a part of the game. But, at no time did we quit. We know it is cliché, but... we can't quit, be-cause those suffering, those for whom the cause exists, can't. We cant quit until there is a finish to the suffering. Be-cause they, unlike us, don't have a rest stop, a finish line, a cold beer to look forward to. So, mile after mile, we move on. We think of every precious voluntary moment in pain, every dime

raised, every heart that opened in support, every person that either has or may succumb to the ill-nesses, the expense, the need for help. Mile after mile we think, how much more can we do? What else can be done to move

forward? Will the hurting stop? Today, for some, it did. For some others, it did not. And this is just one affliction. For me, this event meant something to me. For you, it may be something else. But

no matter the problem, we need to continue to do something to rid the world of pain. So, we can't quit. We must move on. We should keep going. No matter your cause. Until there is a fin-ish line. Until then, we can't quit." -Major Nelson, B&R Road Warriors

“BECAUSE THEY, UNLIKE US, DON’T HAVE A REST STOP, A FINISH LINE OR A COLD BEER

TO LOOK FORWARD TO.”

MANAGEMENT AND REHABILITATION OF ADVANCED MS TELECONFERENCE

Wednesday, July 18, 2012 from 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Multiple sclerosis is a progressive disease for which no cure has yet been found. Although we have

treatments to manage the disease course, they are only partially effective, which means that some

people’s MS will worsen in spite of everything they and their doctors do to try and prevent it.

While researchers are working to identify new and better strategies to stop that progression, people

whose MS has become more disabling—and their family members and friends—need information

about how to manage the challenges they face.

Join us on this call as Dr. George Kraft provides a brief overview of advanced MS, current status of

research on the causes and treatments for progressing MS, and practical tools for symptom manage-

ment.

Guest Speaker: George H. Kraft, M.D., M.S.

•Director of the Western Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Center and Alvord Professor of MS Research

•Professor, Rehabilitation Medicine and Neurology at the University of Washington in Seattle

The registration deadline for this call is July 11th.

To register, visit our website www.moveVA.org

(click on the Calendar of Events)

or call 804-353-5008.

What is a Teleconference?

A teleconference is an opportunity to learn new information by calling into a designated

toll-free number to hear an interactive presentation. You can ask questions or just listen to

the information. Best of all, you can do so from the privacy of your own home.

World MS Day —May 30, 2012 Editor, Times-Dispatch: World MS Day is the only global campaign to bring attention and awareness to multiple scle-rosis (MS). On May 30th, events will be held throughout the world to highlight this year’s theme - Living with MS. Our goal is to bring at-tention to the disease by sharing the stories of those who are affected. There are 11,000+ faces of MS in Virginia. Dawn had to stop taking her MS medication because she could no longer afford it; Marlon had to move to a home that was near accessible transportation; Susan had to give up her dream job; Donna cares for her husband 24 hours a day without respite. These are our friends; our family; our neighbors; our fellow Virginians.

We know that MS destroys connections. It dis-connects the mind from the body and people from each other. But what if we could defy this disease with the very thing it seeks to destroy: Connections. Would we share more knowledge? More questions? More answers? More hope? Maybe, by connecting enough small victories, we could win some really big ones.

Help the National MS Society forge imperative connections by participating in an event hosted by your local chapter, donating money for re-search or sponsoring a program. You can also join our network of MS Activists and advocate for policies that improve the quality of life for people living with MS in the Commonwealth. Chances are someone you know is affected by this disease. By coming together as a communi-ty on May 30

th and throughout the year – we

can and we will make a difference. Learn more about World MS Day and share your story by visiting www.worldmsday.org. Connect at www.MSconnection.org

Ashley Chapman is the State Advocacy Manag-

er for the four Virginia Chapters of the National

MS Society. Follow her on Twitter @vaMScan.

SCHEDULE IN-DISTRICT VISITS TO ADVOCATE FOR MS THIS SUMMER

Advocate on behalf of people with MS and visit your legislators in their district offices this sum-mer!

Summer is the ideal time for MS Activists to set appointments with their elected officials and begin to forge important relationships. The 2012 regular session of the Virginia General Assembly has adjourned. However, our state legislators remain hard at work in their local offices – close to the constituents they serve. Likewise, our federal legislators will be in their district offices during their August recess.

We need YOU to participate in our summer in-district visit campaign. Join us as we meet with leg-islators to talk about MS and how it impacts the lives of Virginians. Your personal story may be the catalyst for change that improves the quality of life for people living with MS in our state and the nation. If you would like to represent the National MS Society and the Central Virginia Chapter during our in-district visit campaign, please contact Kathryn Zapach at kathryn.zapach@nmss.org or (804) 591-3039. Kathryn can guide you through the process of setting up a visit, review the Na-tional MS Society’s priority issues and give you a list of talking points to help steer your conversa-tion.

Thank you for being an MS Activist and for keeping our advocacy efforts moving this summer!
