Welcome to the website for Find A Muckin’ Cure – a team of individuals based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who are devoted to finding a cure for multiple sclerosis.
This team was founded in 2015 by John and Jess Piotrowski. John was diagnosed with MS in January 2015, and shortly thereafter, they founded this team to raise awareness about what multiple sclerosis is and what we can do to help all of the MS warriors in our lives.
Each year, along with their incredible team, John and Jess participate in an fundraising event called MuckFest – a hilarious obstacle course mud run organized by the National MS Society. Designed for laughs, the event reminds us all that – even in the hardest times – challenges like MS are easier when you have the support (and laughter) of family and friends by your side. And, each year, Jess and John set a high-reaching team fundraising goal for the event. To date, they and their team have raised nearly $30,000 for MS research. There is no cure for MS, yet, but every day research gets us a little bit closer.
If you are a member of our team (aka Team Awesome), this website is a great way to look back on our muddy hilarity thus far and get prepped for the year ahead. And if you are thinking about joining us as a runner, as a golfer on our new annual team fundraising outing, as a company sponsor or personal donor, or if you are just simply curious to know more, this website has all of the information you need. You can also send an email to John or Jessica with any questions you might have.
As a team, we hold onto the hope that we will find a cure for this disease. We hold onto the hope that John will defeat this disease. We hold onto hope because hope is more powerful than fear.
Thank you for helping us hope.
