Cocktailin' for the Cause for MS












This weekend was spent in downtown Chicago with dear friend, Loni, and a great girl's evening at Cocktailin' for a Cure at the Hard Rock Hotel benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater Illinois Chapter.

We listened to great music and enjoyed terrific food and drinks, and met and spent time with the lovely Michaele Salahi, who has suffered from MS for over 17 years, along with many others touched by the disease (Michaele is a very sweet lady!) One especially inspirational young woman was beautiful 26 year old who was just diagnosed 2 months ago. She was in attendance ready to raise money and awareness, and help others immediately, and was a real treat to get to know. I really enjoyed listening to her story and all she had to share with us, as well as how positive she was about her situation.
If you'd like to help or be a part of the event next year, go to:




Loni, I had such a great time with you and can't wait for our next time together! Breakfast was amazing, and the "quaint, but charming" bookstore was so cute! Can't wait to explore more!Love ya, Dollie!
