My mom, Theresa, was diagnosed with MS in 1999. It is for this reason that our family and friends started participating in the MS Chesapeake Challenge Walk on the Eastern Shore. In an effort to make even more of an impact on the lives of all those diagnosed with MS, my cousin and I started this annual fundraiser. Our tournament is a way for us not only to raise money to fund services and research in the fight against MS, but a way for us to raise awareness about this devastating disease.
