Dear Friends,
Thank you for visiting montelms.org. In March we launched a new campaign: One Dollar, One Step Closer to a Cure for MS™. Why so modest a request? Because I believe in the power of many united for a common cause. Because I have seen it work time and time again in my own life.
The outpouring of support I received when I announced my diagnosis 10 years ago led to my raising funds for MS and establishing The Montel Williams MS Foundation in 2000. Through the sacrifice of individuals living with MS hosting dinners, concerts and golf tournaments, the innovation of groups of schoolchildren raising money through Math Olympics and various community service projects, and the stunning generosity of retirees donating $10 a month of their precious fixed incomes, we have raised and distributed $1.5 million for MS research!
As the foundation—your foundation—prepares to make its annual grants to top institutions studying MS I reach out to you, once again, in the spirit of cooperation that has always characterized us. Please give and most important, tell everyone you know to join us. Because of you and because of your efforts we will be one step closer to a cure for MS.
For that I thank you.
Montel B. Williams

That was enough to plunge me into the depths of despair.... More
