Description

The 3rd Annual "Night to Strike Out MS" is a fundraiser to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

This year the Auction will again be at "Food Matters" in Alexandria VA and will feature 75+ items to bid on and lots of great food and drink.

Why do we do this? As many of you know, my wife Kate was diagnosed with MS in 2004. Determined not to let MS define her, or slow her down, she has challenged herself by competing in the 2007 and 2008 Boston Marathons, the 2004, 2005 200 and 2008 MS Bike rides, and several triathlons including the Providence Ironman 70.3 Triathlon in 2008. We are determined to raise awareness and money to support research to "strike out MS" and services to support those living with MS.

New this year, we are pleased to announce that Dr. John Richert, the Executive Vice President for the MS Society's Research and Clinical Programs will update guests on the latest advancements in MS Research. We are honored to have him.

We are in the process of soliciting this years auction items and it is going very well. There are going to be something special for everyone.

We have just a little less than two months to go before the auction so please get your tickets soon.

Tickets can be purchased by making an online donation, for $75 per ticket, to the National MS Society in Kate’s name at
