Hi! I am Madeleine Sherak, the widow and partner in life of Tom Sherak. On GIVING TUESDAY, I ask you to join TEAM TOM and the TOM SHERAK MS HOPE FOUNDATION to help our daughter Melissa and so many others living with multiple sclerosis.
Melissa has been fighting MS for 38 years. Recently, it’s become a daily battle filled with obstacles and challenges that most of us can’t imagine, yet through it all, she continues to find the strength to move forward, surrounded by the love of family and friends who support her every step of the way.
Tommy’s dream was two-fold. He wanted a world without MS, and he wanted to better the lives of those living with it. Though he is no longer here to lead the charge, we keep his vision alive in everything we do. The dream of a future where no one must endure what Melissa and others face every day is what fuels our efforts.
Many of you have been part of Melissa’s journey, and ours, in supporting her fight and working toward a cure. Your generosity has helped develop new therapies and support programs that make a tremendous difference and give people with MS a better quality of life.
As Melissa’s Mom, I am asking you today to help continue Tommy’s legacy by helping Melissa and so many others who need us now. Our community has the power to bring about change, and I believe with all my heart that we can and do make a real difference.
Melissa inspires me every day with her optimism, determination and courage, and I hope she inspires you, too. Please support the Tom Sherak MS Hope Foundation this Giving Tuesday, December 2nd. Together, we can honor Tommy’s vision and memory, support those living with MS, and help create a future without MS.
As Tommy always said, “GIVE UNTIL IT FEELS GOOD.”
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, generosity, and support.
With love and gratitude,
Madeleine Sherak, PhD
