Asher’s Chocolates Supports the Meadowood Walkers

More than 20 residents and staff members of the Meadowood at Worcester retirement community will participate in Walk MS on Sunday, May 1, 2011 at North Penn High School. What makes this group very special, however, is not a walker, but a rider. She is Sherry Leonhardt, the Admissions Coordinator for the Meadowood Health Center and she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 19 years ago.

Leonhardt will be riding her scooter alongside the walkers who will complete the 5.5 mile trek through the Lansdale area, giving vibrant testimony that those with MS can live active, productive lives. “My friends and co-workers will be walking to help local people living with MS who desperately need our help,” says Leonhardt. “We’re hoping to draw people from all walks of life, all ages and all abilities to come together to make a difference. In the times right now, the recession, charities aren’t getting the contributions they need. So I’m hoping that as a community at Meadowood, as well as the Lansdale area, we can help support people living with MS.”

Leonhardt received a college degree in culinary arts but had to change careers at age 29 when she was diagnosed with MS. She took a job in long-term care 19 years ago, joining the Meadowood staff 11 years ago. Since caring for her grandparents, she says, “I’ve always had a passion for the senior citizen population.” More information on Sherry and the Meadowood Walkers can be found at http://bit.ly/hYMC9k.

The Asher’s Chocolates Traveling Chocolate Shop will be at Meadowood on April 15th with a portion of the proceeds from that day’s sales going to the Meadowood Walkers. The Asher’s Traveling Chocolate Shops bring chocolate items including gift baskets and packages directly to retirement communities, residential communities and businesses. A portion of the proceeds are donated to the charity of choice of the sponsoring location. Asher’s Chocolates is proud to be a sponsor of the Meadowood Walkers for 2011.
