[QUOTE="ajblakejr, post: 760447, member: 18807"] I am proud... I can contribute to the United Way. I am blessed... I am able to give to the United Way. Blessed. Not forced. I never solicit co-workers for sponsorship. I participate in fund raising activities for various organizations. I never direct anyone to online pledge centers under my name for donations. I walk, I run and I ride my bike. I always have and as long as I have the gift of mobility...I will. The difference is since 2006... I became...someone that benefits from the efforts of others. I never thought I would become one of those [I][B]"people"[/B][/I] ... Now, I do what I do because I still CAN DO IT. Subscribing to current logic...I waste my precious money by donating to the United Way. All my money should go directly to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Blessed...not forced. I go to bed knowing MS is unpredictable. I may not walk in the morning. The MS Society works towards a cure...The United Way supports agencies that will make it possible for me to make it to work. I walk, run and ride my bike for a cure. I give to the United Way because I CAN. Don't judge. I am passionate in my support of the United Way. I won't judge you. Give or don't give. I pray I never need the assistance of a United Way supported agency for mobility issues. I know the agencies will be there for me - even if I don't give. [/QUOTE]
