Bubbles & Brunch to End MS
08.24.16
You can join the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Pacific South Coast Chapter’s third annual “Bubbles & Brunch to End MS,” a fundraiser to benefit MS research and programs and services for people living with MS, starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 27 at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach.
The event will include a reception with mimosas, silent auction, plated brunch and inspirational stories from those affected by MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and the rest of the body.
Keynote speaker will be Wendy Booker, who was diagnosed with MS in 1988. In 2004, she became the first person with a confirmed diagnosis of MS to climb Alaska’s Mount McKinley. She also has successfully climbed to the top of the world’s “Seven Summits” (the highest peak on each of the seven continents) and has attempted Mt. Everest twice. She also is the first person with MS to reach both the North Pole and South Pole.
She is the founder of Climb On, a navigational guide program to help connect people with MS to the many choices of therapy options, neurologists and MS Centers. She also is the author of “New Altitude: Beyond Tough Times to the Top of the World,” her biography of progressing beyond tough times to the top of the world.
The fundraiser is sponsored by Biogen. Tickets are priced beginning at $100 per person. For more information and to RSVP, visit bubblesandbrunch.org.
Island Hotel is at 690 Newport Center Drive in Newport Beach.
