TWIN FALLS Bed racing in downtown Twin Falls is a crazy sight, but its meant to call attention to multiple sclerosis, an illness with devastating effects. <\/p>\n
Judy and John Fisher organize an annual Bed Race fundraiser, now in its third year, to support MS research. Five-person teams will race downtown June 16, and its time to prepare your bed and polish your racing technique. <\/p>\n
It started as a wild idea of a way to raise money, John said. We make more money this way than by walking. <\/p>\n
While the Twin Falls couple still participates in a multiple sclerosis walk, John said, their fundraising from the Bed Race grew from $500 the first year to $3,000 last year. <\/p>\n
Besides the main event, raffle prizes will include visits to Lagoon, Roaring Springs, Cactus Petes Resort Casino and Silver City. <\/p>\n
Each year weve had a better turnout and weve had a lot of good help and sponsors, said Judy, who has MS. Which is great because people dont seem to realize how serious the illness is. <\/p>\n
David Elgan of Jerome is an example of how the illness can change the course of a life. Elgans military career with the National Guard was squashed after his diagnosis in 2010. <\/p>\n
The pain in my feet was so bad I couldnt run, Elgan said. I wish more people knew what MS is and what its all about. This disease takes away your life. <\/p>\n
Elgan is trying to assemble a team for the races but said it will be a last-minute feat if it comes together. <\/p>\n
Ive never laughed so much in my life, Elgan said of watching last years races. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
