The Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle is all about getting people involved, promoting a healthier lifestyle, and making a difference. This is a great opportunity to get involved and move your body! This blog has over 500 readers each month. Can you imagine what a difference we could make if each of us donated $1? Hope to see you in Folsom on April 30!

What is MS?
Our bodies are in constant motion--moving information from the brain to the body. But MS stops people from moving by attacking the myelin that protects normal nerve tissue. This damage keeps people from living smoothly, both inside and out. People with MS know something about moving that most of us don't understand: moving is not a guarantee. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by the disease.
Why I Walk
I've registered to walk because 400,000 Americans are living with MS and my mom is one of them. My mom never gives up! She keeps moving and never seems to let MS keep her from doing what she wants to do. She is the rock of our family...she doesn't miss events, she loves spending time with family, and she always seems to have such an amazingly positive attitude! She visits with friends, travels, visits her much-loved horse, and still manages to get outside with the dogs. My mom reminds me to never give up and I can only hope to be half the woman she is! Each year I participate in Walk MS to honor my mom's strength and resilience and raise money for a cure!
Why You Should Sponsor Me
MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn't. The Society addresses the challenges of each person affected by MS by funding cutting-edge research, driving change through advocacy, facilitating professional education, collaborating with MS organizations around the world, and providing programs and services designed to help people with MS and their families move their lives forward. In 2009 alone, through its national office and 50-state network of chapters, the Society devoted over $132 million to programs that enhanced more than one million lives. To move us closer to a world free of MS, the Society also invested nearly $36 million to support 375 research projects around the world.
