Our Walk MS Fundraiser of the Week is Jay Medina!

This is Jay’s first year participating in Walk MS and he has set an aggressive fundraising goal of $10,000. We have no doubt in our mind that he will accomplish this for he has already raised more than $4,000 and is currently our second highest Walk MS fundraiser to date! Jay, who is living with MS, will be leading his team of 10, “Masons against MS,” on May 4,  at the New York City site. He states that with the support of his loving wife, children and amazing friends along with the proper medication he “has been living a healthy and productive life with MS.”

Keep up the great work Jay!
