Cheryl Amar has been involved
with her local MS Society Chapter since 2011, following her daughter Jaclyn’s
diagnosis. When Cheryl was told by doctors that there was no cure for MS, she
believed that she had to do everything she could to help raise money for vital
research, so that one day her daughter would be free of the debilitating
effects of this disease.
“We never know what each day
is going to bring us,” says Cheryl, “some days
Jaclyn feels great and other
days it’s a challenge for her to get out of bed.” Jaclyn was diagnosed with MS
at the age of 22 and the disease has put her life on hold. “Despite the
struggles that MS brings, my daughter remains positive, outgoing and takes full
advantage of the good days,” Cheryl continues.
Support from family and friends
allow Jaclyn to live her life as best as possible, but assistance and support
from within the community are always required.
Cheryl’s team, Kaki’s Krew, raised over $24,400 in 2012 and was the
Richmond Hill-Thornhill-Aurora MS Walk’s #1 fundraising team for the second
year in a row.
Congratulations to Cheryl and
her amazing team on their continued fundraising efforts and their dedication to
ending MS!
