PR Trends Remixed

The PMJF Food Drive was a success. Dretam staff, family and friends showed great support for the organization’s kick-off event. We were able to provide a box of food and grocery store gift cards for two families. 

     

Special thanks to Jo Ann of the MS Society’s African Americans with MS Self-Help Group. With her help, we were able to locate our recipients, MS patients Linda Penn of Marietta and Marquetta Boone of Smyrna. Notorious street ball player and PMJF 2009-2010 ambassador, Dennis “Spyda” Chism, helped us to deliver the donations. He will also be instrumental in our upcoming fundraising endeavors for 2010.

Thanks so much to our gracious host, Gathering Grounds Coffee House in Kirkwood. Visit them online at www.gatheringgroundskirkwood.com We would also like to extend gratitude to our guests and supporters for their generous donations.

About the PMJF - The PMJF is dedicated to providing families and individuals who suffer from neurodegenerative diseases (multiple sclerosis, Parkinson, etc…) with resources and opportunities for a better quality of life.

About Pamela Mitchell Jones - Mrs. Jones was a single mother of two when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) at the age of 32. As the years progressed, doctors began to believe that she didn’t have MS but she did have a neurodegenerative disease that mimics MS in MRI results. At this time, she has still not been fully diagnosed. Since that diagnosis more than 12 years ago, she and her now teen and adult children have been under the care of her mother. At this time, Mrs. Jones is unable to walk, speak or respond to normal human contact. That is the Pamela Mitchell Jones we experience now. However, this organization was developed in the memory of the Pam we knew before the disease took effect. She was a giving and overly generous person that genuinely cared for others whether she knew them or not. That’s the spirit behind the PMJF. We want to ensure that her legacy of giving lives on even though she can’t physically do it herself.
