Preparing for MS Walk

Almost a year ago, I participated for the first time in MS Walk. This year, the event will take place on Sunday, June 3rd.
My encounter with MS happened a year ago, thanks to a blog managed by a very brave Polish blogger - annablack (in Polish). From there, I learned about this extremely abject condition, which usually attacks young females. I learned also about brave fight they undertake to fight the illness and very serious shortcomings in Polish health system.
My last years' walk was quite successful, I collected almost $650. I hope to achieve similar result this year. At the same time, I feel some frustrations, that my efforts here do not bring any help to Anna and other MS sufferers in Poland, who are in much worse position than people in Australia. I will try to make a personal donation to Anna as some proportion to money collected for Australian MS Society. Now, time for ACTION!
I invite my readers to:
- walk with me in Albert Park on 3rd of June - entry cost $25. You can also run, unfortunately I will not catch up with you.
- make donation on my webpage,
- make donation personally to me, I will give you an official receipt - contact me by email - pharlap@gazeta.pl
- just give me an approving nod in your thoughts on this day.
Thank You.
Note: all donations above $2 are tax deductible.
