SIMONETTA, a happy and cheerful lady that lives in Genova, Italy and that, without saying a word about it, organized a lottery where she gave away huge baskets with the most wonderful goodies to the winner and she did all of this to raise funds for MS research! With the help of her friend Anna, who was already a Flowers4MS supporter, and with the help of her mom Nerina and of her friend Claudia who owns a shop and who offered to sell the lottery tickets, she was able to raise funds that were used to support Dr. Greenberg's research.
She has a wonderful, giving spirit and she has a pure and giving soul and I am so grateful that I got to meet her through YouTube!
BILL, a dear friend that has been living with Multiple Sclerosis for many years and that wrote a book where he collected his life's yourney and the challenges that MS gave him and that he has to face every day. He was very nice and he offered to support the Flowers4MS project. This is the site where you can take a look at his story and buy a copy of his book.
LUCIA, the newest Flowers4MS helper. She lives in North Italy, in the region of Lombardia. She decided to help our project by selling our cards to family and friends and at fairs and Italian celebrations. She is a very sweet and caring young woman and she is an activist for people's rights and for peace. She is a volunteer for Emergency, an Italian Association that provides medical and surgical treatment free, high quality civilian victims of war, landmines and poverty. Emergency promotes a culture of solidarity, peace and respect for human rights. She also loves working with clay and she creates wonderful pieces of art, she likes to dance and she is studying the English language. When she told me that she wanted to help Flowers4MS, she made me very happy because I knew that she would be an incredible addition to our project! When you love flowers, you can't go wrong! :)
