MS Walk April 3rd, 2004 For the second year in a row, the brothers of TN Eta have participated in the Clarksville MS Walk. In doing so, we are raising money and awareness on behalf of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, with the hope that one day the acronym MS will stand for Mystery Solved. 2003 Walk raises $13,000 to fight MS Fighting a disease Jack Fitts pushes wife Bonnie Fitts' wheelchair during
the Eighth Annual MS Walk Saturday. Mrs. Fitts has multiple sclerosis
and was among the 200 people who took part in the walk that raises research
money and awareness of multiple sclerosis. Participants raised pledges for the opportunity to walk three miles through downtown Clarksville, and, more importantly, fund research through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society."This is an annual fund-raiser, and it helps make people aware of multiple sclerosis," walk chairwoman Missy Wooten said. "Lots of times people come to support family members or friends with MS."The event raised almost $13,000, which pleases people such as Bonnie Fitts. "I appreciate it because I have MS," Fitts said. "It just really encourages me because hopefully, one day there will be a cure." Her daughter Ashley, who is a student at Austin Peay State University, sat next to her. Ashley brought several of her Chi Omega sorority sisters and friends in the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity to participate. "It means a lot that my friends came out and support my family," she said. Anthony Aronowitz, admitted he didn't know much about MS before getting involved with the walk."This is for a good cause," he said. "It's been an educational experience." By CHARLES BOOTH |
