Thank you to all of the women who came out to Club One for our last Fabulous Event. The women came in droves…..They were arm in arm with their girlfriends carrying wine glasses & tasty appetizers. There were about 120 guests that filled the lounge of Club One. The turn-out was fantastic. Robin Russell was our lovely hostess who not only shared the cause for the evening but she courageously shared her story of what it’s been like to be diagnosed with a rare form of MS (Multiple -Sclerosis).
Diagnosing MS is challenging because of the wide range of symptoms. It affects every person different. Almost any neurological symptom can appear with the disease, and often progresses to physical and cognitive disability. Fortunately for Robin, she is under the care of UCSF medical specialists, which continue to uncover new strategies and treatments to help patients. Our group was moved by Robin’s courage. Most people came into the evening knowing nothing about MS……the women left with knowledge, understanding, empathy and hope for a cure. We raised $4,285.00. That money has gone directly to UCSF, and we will continue to hold good intentions for Robin and others who have Multiple Sclerosis. Thank you for your generosity. Robin’s Mom flew in from Indiana to be a part of the event. She was comforted to know that there is such a loving support system here for her daughter.
