Dear Friends and Family,
Thank you for visiting my fundraising site.  This year I  am running  the Boston Marathon to raise $5,000 for the Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis. MS is a disease of the nervous system that affects over 2 million people by robing them of thier ability to walk, see, think, reason, and otherwise control their mind and body.

Accelerated takes a unique approach to curing MS by creating a "Cure Map."  To develop the Map they maintain 9 research repositories around the country, which provide consistent sets of test samples to researchers.  This helps to validate and correlate research data and is a statically important approach to uncovering the causes of MS.  This is also uber nerdy, so you can see why I like this project and want to raise money for the cause.

Below are some key donation levels. Please consider one of these donor levels or create your own.  All donations are greatly appreciated and Tax Deductable. 

Platinum Donor $500:   Match the gift that I gave,
Gold Donor $250:         
Silver Donor $100:        
Running Buddy $54.40: $2 for every Marathon mile

You can use this site to donate by clicking on the 'Sponsor Me Now' buttons or you can send a check to the address below.

Please check to see if your company will match your donation.

Thank you for your time and consideration.  Check back for updates on my progress towards raising $5,000 for Accelerate.

Best,
Joe
