Congratulations!
Here is a thank you note from Mary Jo and Keith Reeves, the winners of our 2012 MARS Foundation cruise raffle.
"A huge thank you to the MARS Foundation for the raffle win of the super cruise vacation. I bought tickets and put both of my daughters names on them, Camily who lives in Grimes and Jenny who lives in Hawaii. Camily and my husband and I have given money to the MARS Foundation for several years now. Camily, who was diagnosed with MS 9 years ago is doing very well with infusions every month and we all appreciate the wonderful work the foundation does for the cure of MS. Jenny’s husband Ben just got home from 6 months at sea on a submarine and they were wanting to take a vacation with just the two of them. Jenny’s name was drawn, so what a fitting gift she could give to her husband! Here is a picture of their homecoming in Hawaii August 8th.
Again, thank you to the Anderson family and the MARS Foundation for their hard work and dedication in the goal to finding a cure for MS."
