Paul and Kaylynn George are true boosters in supporting the National MS Society. They’ve made a generous donation to the MS Walk, sponsoring walker Elizabeth Key and assisting her to not just meet but exceed her fundraising goals more than a dozen times over! Now THAT’S going above and beyond! Way to go, Paul and Kaylynn, and thank you for truly embracing the CVI Power Foundation spirit to play (and pay) it forward!

From intrepid stroller for the cause Ms. Elizabeth Key herself:

Why I Walk

I’ve registered for Walk MS because I want to do something for the people who
have been diagnosed – and because I want to do everything to prevent more people
from learning what it means to live with this disease. Today, there is no cure
for multiple sclerosis, and with a diagnosis occurring most frequently between
the ages of 20 and 50, many individuals face a lifetime filled with
unpredictability. Each step I take helps move us on step closer to fulfilling
the mission of the National MS Society…to create a world free of MS.

You can help yourself and others at the same time by doing like Mike! In addition to what he has raised for outside sponsorship and donations, Mr. Finley has donated against his own participation running in the RTO with his proceeds going to help fight childrens cancer as a part of Team CVI. If giving were a candle he’d be burning it at both ends! Way to go Mike, and good luck with the run. Feel the burn!

The Reno Tahoe Odyssey (RTO) is a 178 mile relay race run on foot, beginning in Reno and working its way through the areas of Reno, Truckee, Lake Tahoe, Carson City and historic Virginia City. The 36 individual legs of this run take runners from a starting altitude of 4490 feet above sea level to a dizzying upper limit of 7334 feet and, after several climbs and descents, brings participants right back to where they began in downtown Reno. RTO dedicates their proceeds to two local non-profits, the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation (NNCCF) and the Tahoe Pyramid Bikeway. I know everyone is pulling for Team CVI to tear up the course!
