Fighting back Mary Molds and Women Against Multiple Sclerosis Luncheon raises money and awareness
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society Mid-Jersey Chapter will host its Women Against Multiple Sclerosis Luncheon at 11 a.m. Nov. at The Palace at Somerset Park in Somerset.

The event's keynote speaker will be Mary Molds, who has been living with multiple sclerosis for five years. Prior to her diagnosis in 2001, Molds did not know much about MS. After her diagnosis, she used the resources of her local Multiple Sclerosis Society chapter to request literature, attend seminars and listen to Web conferences to learn all she could about the disease.

Since then, Molds has become an advocate for those living with the disease and is an active volunteer for the society.

In 2003, Molds organized an MS Walk team, which, to date, has grown to more than 100 members and has raised more than $30,000 for the Mid-Jersey Chapter.

This year, Molds took her fundraising one step further by participating in the Mid-Jersey Chapter's "Coast the Coast" MS 50-mile Bike Tour.

Next year, she plans to ride 170 miles. Fighting back MORE
