Week 3 EOC: Making Money For Good

EMD Serano, a biopharmaceutical division, raises $150,000 for multiple sclerosis research. Sclerosis is debilitating disease in which your body's immune system eats away at the protective sheath that covers your nerves. Which then messes up the communication between your brain and the rest of your body? With the help of one-hundred fifty plus employees, EMD made a one-hundred fifty mile trek from Marina Bay in Quincy to Provincetown on Cape Cod along with two thousand other riders. Boston Celtics center forward Brian Scalabrine also worked with EMD to get the research they need for those who have MS, which is a very low key disease with little help to the majority who have it. The event raised $1.5 million for multiple sclerosis research. Making money for a good cause, is what the world is lacking in, but there are those few who do take a stand and get the word of mouth out there and with action.
