Attorney Larry Disparti and Susan Struder from The West Pasco MS Support Group have joined together to organize a shoe collection fundraiser to benefit the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation!  
Not only does this fundraiser generate funds for the great work of the MSF, but the gently worn shoes are sent to those in need in developing nations. Used shoes are in huge demand in these parts of the world. Through these collections, people in impoverished nations are able to start, maintain, and grow their micro-enterprise to feed, clothe, and house their families (find out more at: www.funds2orgs.com).  There are different drop off locations listed below, but Susan would like to ask Tampa Bay to help put MS on the map with a massive shoe collection.  Larry and Susan have three months to collect as many shoes as possible.  Trinity Towers Self Storage is not just a Drop off location, they have also donated storage space until the end of the drive.  While this event is seeing tremendous support from the local community they would like to reach farther.  Can you can help this worthy cause by going through your closet and donating shoes you no longer have a need for?  Would you like to be a Drop-off location?  For more information contact:  Jesse Hoolihan at Disparti Law Group at 727-934-7862 or Susan Struder at 727-372-1568.
