Mission Statement
Having a good time for a good cause - fighting to end Multiple Sclerosis and find a cure.
Description
Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. MS currently affects more than 2.3 million people worldwide.
And so, we, at Pony Up, are doing every little bit we can to help those affected by this frustrating illness. (by betting on horse races, obviously...) Every dollar raised will be donated to the efforts of the National MS Society.
