Hello All,

I need your help.

This year, I have again made the decision to walk in the 2010 Challenge Walk MS which will take me 50 miles from Carlsbad to San Diego in three days. I'll start on September 24 and finish on September 26.

This journey is important for me personally because I have MS. Ten years ago I was diagnosed and I know that I am very fortunate to be able to walk today. There are many people with MS who can no longer walk or move. The disease can be disabling and the range of symptoms is diverse. There is no known cause or cure for MS. Medicine has come a long way from the time when doctors said, "there is nothing we can do" but we are still a long way off from a cure.

Research is needed and quality of life programs are key to help those people who live with the disease daily are key to the well-being of those with MS. The Multiple Sclerosis Society's Pacific South Coast Chapter has given me the opportunity to impact the lives of others through speaking engagements as an MS Ambassador, putting a face to MS as a Champion Against MS and the annual Walk MS that my employer, Provide Commerce sponsors.

My Champions story is here if you'd like to read my story: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/chapters/cas/chapter-news/stories/rabiah-coon/index.aspx

This year, my Walk MS team was the number 1 fundraising team in Southern California at $40,000!

Please sponsor me. Any amount will help. My goal (and the minimum I need to raise) is $2500.
