OCEAN CITY--Some young girls have been spending their summer asking people to help them move towards a world free of multiple sclerosis.
After their mother was diagnosed with MS, sisters, Maggie, 10, and Jamie Himes, 12, joined forces with their friend Jessica Butterly, 12, to raise money to find a cure.
Twice a week, the girls faithfully set up shop outside Kay Jay's Doll Shop along Asbury Avenue in Ocean City selling soft pretzels and water, "It's almost like a certain type of bliss just helping and knowing that you're helping not just one, but probably hundreds of people in the U.S.," said Butterly.
The girls reached their goal of raising $1,000 Tuesday afternoon. With a few more weeks left to summer, they now hope to raise even more.
