multiple sclerosis skate-a-thon

On June 30th , 2007 --Jimmy will be skateboarding through the summer heat, 45 miles non-stop, for a Benefit to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. Every cent counts in this fight to find a cure for this disease. If you would like to pledge money for this cause, you can email him at: skatepulaski@yahoo.com with your name, pledge amount and email address. He will then contact you after the event for collection of the donations to turn in to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. A cameraman will be following him to document this event, so all of the people who have donated money can see that the journey was completed. We would like to thank everyone for all the support and donations.
We can change the world, one push at a time. happy landings----JP
