MDA Stride and Ride

This note is from my brother and sister-in-law (Billy and Kelly). Every year they help raise money for the MDA's Annual Stride and Ride to help "Jerry's Kids". If you would like to donate, please click on the link embedded in her note.

Thanks so much!
Chrissy

Friends and Family
, Once again this year we have the honor and pleasure of participating as a Team in MDA's 5th Annual Stride and Ride to help "Jerry's Kids", scheduled for May 9th at The St. Louis Mills (in Hazelwood, MO). We are collecting funds for the MDA in honor of our daughter, Elizabeth Pohl and we hope to raise $3000 - To reach our goal I need your help! As many of you know, our 10yr old daughter Elizabeth has Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (she was diagnosed when she was 7mo old). The MDA has helped us connect with specialists and therapists to give our daughter all the additional support she needs. Elizabeth benefited from physical therapy, occupational therapy, swim therapy and speech therapy; used a standing frame, ankle supports, a walker, and arm crutches - today she walks without assistance, which some doctors said would never happen!

We'd like to include you or your company on our list of contributors who are helping us reach our goal. Your donation would help MDA continue the important fight against muscular dystrophy. Check out our web page by clicking on this link: https://www.joinmda.org/stlouiswalk09/kpohl. There you'll find all kinds of information about MDA and be able to make your tax-deductible donation on-line using your credit card. Feel free to pass it on and collect even more funds! :) Everyone is welcome on our team!

Lastly, I want to extend an invitation to you and anyone you know who wants to walk to join us at The St. Louis Mills at 9:45am on Saturday, May 9th. (Registration is from 8:30am - 9:30am and there are plenty of activities and snacks!)
I sincerely hope that you'll take the opportunity to support MDA. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. On behalf of the families served by the MDA, like ours, thank you!

Sincerely,
Bill and Kelly Pohl

Kelly, I figured they would get in touch of us somehow. I almost posted both your phone numbers on there and caught it before I posted it. Don't want any strange people calling you :)
