I live by this as each day I show up to work and try to fight against the tobacco rates in Utah. I love advocacy and it is very much apart of me. Currently I am working for the MS society as a volunteer. This is my 5th year and I am gearing up for the MS 150 Bike Tour. Although I give freely of my time this is the first year I am trying to raise money to help. I have donated and want to see if you yourself would be interested in donating. Even small amounts help. "Never doubt that a small amount of money can change the world, because it will!" -Dre.
I am raising money through my friend Joshua Cloward because I myself cannot ride due to my awesome volunteering skills. I will however slave in the heat/cold/dirt/water to feed and take care of 2,000 riders!

Who is Josh?Good question. He's an amazing friend that has taught me a lot this last year. We play soccer together, gave snowboard lessons to inner-city kids together, and now raising money for MS together.
This is a pic of us snowboarding. Great times, long talks up the slow lifts. Josh is also a very talented cyclist so another reason I support him doing this charitible ride.
Why MS?
Well because MS isn't genetic, it is almost a mystery disease. It also effects everyone differently. For my good friend Tiffany it took site from her left eye. From my neighborhood it took Brother Boons ablity to walk. What we do know is that MS is the scare tissue on the myelin sheets protecting your nerves. When those sheets are destroy your nerves lose information like sight, thought or walking. For more information go to http://www.nationalmssociety.org/
think it over, and really $5 dollars would rock my socks. I thank you so much for reading this and please let me know if you have any questions!
