Great Mass Getaway

Dear Friends and Family,

I'm doing something next weekend that is very important to me, and I am hoping it will interest you, too. Every hour someone is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic disease of the central nervous system affecting the brain and spinal cord.

What if every day you woke up not knowing if you'd be able to get out of bed or hold your child? For many people with multiple sclerosis, this is their reality.

MS usually strikes adults in the prime of life - between the ages of 20 and 50. It comes and goes unpredictably, leaving people to wonder, "Will I become paralyzed, blind or have trouble walking? Will I be able to raise my family and continue my career?"

Please join me in supporting the National MS Society's mission to end the devastating effects of MS.

On June 24, I'll be participating in a ride from Boston to Provincetown, Mass. to raise money to battle this frightening disease. The ride is 2 days, 150 miles. My original fundraising goal was $400, but I'm going to challenge myself and double that goal. I have about a week to raise $800, and with your help, I know I can do it. You can support me by clicking the link below and making a secure online epledge.

Please pass this on to anyone you think may be interested in supporting this important cause.

Thank you - together we can make a difference!

Yours,

Suzanne

Past 2 Weekends


A kiss before sailing


Spent a wonderful weekend up at Ryan's family's cabin at Milacs Lake in Minnesota. Once we duct taped me to the mast with my bright orange lifejacket, I screamed out "I'm Sailing! I'm Sailing!" Oh no, wait. That was the 1991 film,What About Bob? Silly me. We also canoed, kayaked, floated on inner tubes, and barbequed in the most beautiful weather imaginable.

One of us was recently dipped in holy water... Can you guess which one?

(Flint is Ryan's nephew, whose baptism we attended in Milwaukee). Click on the photos to see more pictures from both weekends.
