Fundraiser Spotlight: Poker Run for MS
|
|
Madeline Spitson was diagnosed with MS in 2014. Wanting to find a way to bring MS awareness to her small community, Madeline started researching fundraising avenues. That's when a friend approached her with the idea of a poker run with his biker group, Iron 7!
With the support of her husband, children, friends, and 13 siblings, Madeline and Iron 7 raised over $5,000
!
"We are proud of this donation knowing that it is going to help those who are diagnosed with MS (like myself) and their families. This will be an annual event, as we are already planning for next year's ride!"
Please join us in thanking Madeline, her family, and Iron 7 for all they accomplished to support families living with MS!
