WALKER SPOTLIGHT
Kelly Gaeckle was officially diagnosed with MS in 2009. Her favorite walk memory is when she attended her first walk and she saw all the people that had come together to support MS. “It was really neat to see so much orange in one place,” said Kelly. Walk MS: Monterey Bay 2012 will be her 4th year participating.

FUNDRAISING TIPS
Kelly's Fundraising Tips:
-
Spread the word that you are participating in a walk, either through talking with people or using social media sites like Facebook.
-
Have a garage sale or host a cocktail party as a way to raise funds.
-
My husband is a Mortgage Broker and has used fundraising as a marketing tool. He donates a portion of fees earned from every loan that he does to the National MS Society. He follows up with a letter to his clients telling them what he has done. Often times the clients have followed up and sent in additional donations of their own.
-
Check with employers to see if they would make a donation to support your cause.
-
Kids can get involved and do a bake sale or something else creative. My daughter made bunches of Rosemary to sell to our neighbors.
