The National Multiple Sclerosis Society - The funds we provide together help underwrite important research toward finding a cure for multiple sclerosis. Much progress has been made due to funding from groups like the Weeda Beahm Team who ride every year in the Annual MS bicycle challange. Dick Beahm is a classmate of mine from the United States Military Academy.  He puts a lot of effort into raising money each year and can really use our support.  Maybe if we can put some money behind him, he'll even ride a little faster. 

Family & Friends For Freedom Fund, Inc. - Welcome Home SSgt James Sturla! We love you Jim! On September 22, 2004 a Marine in our family was severely injured in Iraq. During the 6 1/2 weeks he was at the Bethesda Naval Center we experienced how a family feels and the struggles they undergo when a loved one is injured. The war in Iraq was brought up close and personal. Our marine's arduous journey since has inspired our family and some friends to found a non profit organization called Family & Friends For Freedom Fund, Inc. We felt that we had to help not only “our Marine” but all of the other Marine families that find themselves in this tough situation as well as the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. This is how Family & Friends For Freedom Fund Inc., a nonprofit organization, was founded. Click here for their site.
