Thanks for your interest, may I mail you a brochure? It has event details, FAQ's, facts about multiple sclerosis, and a registration sheet in case you decide to be a part of our cruise.

I'm hoping we can get some Focuses (Foci?) involved--we've been running this event since 2003 and have never had a Focus!! :(

Cheers,

Nelson (you can email me directly at cruisin@mssociety.ca)

A bit too early and a bit too far for me and the family ... but it's an excellent cause and I'd be willing to sponsor a member or two who are participating. Send me a PM.

We're looking into getting a group rate for a motel Saturday, Sept. 8th (night before the cruise). If you're coming from out of town and are looking for a place to stay, please email me at nelson.couto@mssociety.ca to let me know.

Our group is growing larger by the day; if you want to come but haven't registered already please don't put it off because it's less than 5 weeks away now! :shock:

We had our event yesterday and despite the iffy weather, it was a great time. We had a Focus in the cruise, our first ever and hopefully just the beginning! I rode in it briefly on the Plunkett Estate, what a great little car!

I'm happy to announce that we raised approximately $22,500, a 30% increase over last year--this event just keeps getting bigger and better!

It was quite a site seeing all the cars coming and going out of the Pit Stops. If you haven't been to a charity car cruise (Cruisin' for MS or any different one) I suggest you try it next year!

Cruisin' for MS will take place again on Sept. 7, 2008. If you guys and gals would have me, I'd love to attend a club meeting this winter to ask your club to make Cruisin' an official club event!

Hi guys and gals, it took awhile but the 2007 Cruisin' for MS web page has just been finalized! Check it out at www.cruisinforms.com. You'll notice that a Ford Focus has its moment of glory in the write-up! :D

Please share this link with anyone you know who loves cars and/or has a loved on with MS. Mark your new calendars--Sunday, Sept. 7, 2008 is the date of the next cruise.
