Our Story
In 1992, our wife and mother, Marg, received the life-altering diagnosis of MS. Like anyone faced with unexpected news, we experienced tears, anger, and then resolved not to let this challenge define us.
Our journey began with participating in the local bike tour for Multiple Sclerosis, rallying our family to raise over $100,000 for MS research over a decade. As cycling became more challenging, we sought new ways to support the cause.
In 2004, inspired by our family's love for golf, we launched the “MS Driving Fore A Cure” Golf Classic Tournament. Over the past 20 years, with your generous support, we've raised over $256,000.00. Unlike funds for research, these contributions directly benefit families and individuals living with MS, improving their quality of life through essential equipment and home renovations that keep families together.
Your friendship and support have been invaluable in making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by MS, enhancing their "QUALITY OF LIFE!" We are deeply thankful for your continued support.

"This is a big, heartfelt Thank You to the Society for all your generous financial help over the years. This equipment has enabled me to continue to live
independently, as toilet transfers are much easier, safer and quicker. My sincerest thanks to the society."
"I am grateful for the life changing help the MS Society has given me. I can't thank you enough.”
"Thanks so much for your great help in providing a grant for the shower commode that my wife needed greatly. The equipment you helped provide is a great
blessing. Once again, she can take showers instead of having sponge baths. Thanks to all who give to this excellent society!"
"Thank-you all for your kindness and consideration. I can't thank you enough for your help and giving me hope to living.”
2021 Golf Tournament
With a manual wheelchair, I will be able to access all areas of my home independently. I will be able to eat in the kitchen with my family. My wife is unable to carry my current wheelchair up and down the stairs; therefore, I spend most of my time on the second level of my home. This equipment will allow me to spend more time with my family, increase my independence within my home, and allow me to get out of the house for appointments and social events.

I would like to thank you and your family for the Driving Fore a Cure golf tournament and the vision you had in creating an event that would make a difference. Not just a fundraiser that adds to the giant pool for research, but that is there to support people with their daily challenges. This is why Driving Fore a Cure is so special.
I am very fortunate to have benefited from the Driving Fore a Cure tournament, with the assistance in purchasing a wheelchair. This is greatly appreciated and will make a huge impact on my quality of life. The increase in my mobility will lower the stress on myself and my loved ones. With this, I will also gain back some independence. I am very thankful for all that you have done for myself and others in similar situations.
I would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you, from myself and all the others that might not have been able say it directly. All the hard work does not go unnoticed.
Thank-you for making a difference
