Sister Lorraine Parham, St. John AME Church, Huntsville, AL.
On 29 April 2023, St. John AME Church-Huntsville members and friends gathered in fellowship to participate in the annual National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society Walk held on Campus 805, Huntsville, Alabama. The team, MS PAC, consisted of the following participants: Bobby Adkins, Kay Adkins, Samantha Adkins, Phyllis Barrett, Renee Booker, Agnes Gilmore, Patricia Grier (Team Captain), Thalia Love, Lorraine Parham, Kenneth Parham, Maeola Peoples, Lillie Rivers, Wille Sandifer, Rosemary Wells, and Heloise Wilson.
Throughout the United States (US), the National MS Society holds fundraisers to further research which will one day eliminate this crippling disease. Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease affecting approximately 570,000 people in the US and over 2 million worldwide. The disease affects quality of life, employment, social relationships, and patient productivity.
The MS PAC team supports the National MS Society’s vision of one day having a world free of MS. Everything that the MS Society does is focused so that people affected by MS can live their best lives as the organization continues its work; to stop MS in its tracks, to restore what has been lost and to end MS forever.
The MS PAC team is committed to serving and stands on Matthew 5:41: “If anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile.” The MS PAC team wishes to thank all who have supported the team members through the years with donations for this ongoing cause and encourage continued donations.
