Give details - Tell your story: I have a personal stake in this particular event. My dadhas MS. Not only do I want to help him, but also the many others diagnosed with MS.

Even simple everyday living skills become increasingly difficult. Everyone is affected differently by these symptoms. My goal is to raise at least specify dollar amount this year, which represents $1 for every person with MS registered with our local MS Chapter. Please help me reach that goal with your pledge. Your donation is tax deductible. If you wish, you may mail all or part of your payment amount today in the self-addressed stamped envelope enclosed with this letter. Otherwise, I will collect your pledge after the event. Please make your check payable to the National MS Society. My deadline to get my pledges in is deadline date. Following the event, I will send out a brief recap of the MS event name to all my sponsors. Thank you in advance for your support. Please call me if you have any questions or comments about the MS event name. I can be reached at phone number. Sincerely, Your name
