Charity on the cheap: Find out how to get involved in the fight against MS with just $8

Doing good stuff is good, but getting something in return is even better. Oh, excuse my obvious self-gratification!

I can't help it. Like Miley Cyrus, I want the best of both worlds. Readers of this column know that in my mind there's nothing better than shopping for a good cause. Think of the advantages! Everybody wins.

Right now, products like signature nail polish ($8) Eco tote bags ($12) and Tommy Hilfiger T-Shirts ($25) are selling on the EraseMS web site that directly benefit the foundation.

Nancy Davis founded Race to Erase MS, which funds a network of the nation's top MS research centers called the Center Without Walls program. Nancy was diagnosed in 1993; around the same time as a family member of my own. It's only natural to champion this cause. This time it's personal.

Anybody can get involved by purchasing shopping the web site, as well as making donations or purchasing tickets for the 16th Annual Race to Erase MS gala on May 8. The event will feature performances by the Eagles and Michelle Branch, with special appearances by Scarlett Johansson, Tom Arnold, Teri Garr, Rob Lowe and Blair Underwood.

Got a padlock on your wallet? Show your support for the Race to Erase MS by wearing orange during the month of May; just like pink for breast cancer awareness. You're wrong Elle Woods, orange is the new pink!
