Shemar and Marilyn
Isn’t this the sweetest picture? This is Shemar Moore with mom, Marilyn.
Shemar and Marilyn Moore made the cover of Neurology Now to discuss Marilyn’s struggle with MS. Shemar, a fitness buff who loves biking, organized a Criminal Minds team to raise money for research and treatment of this disease. From the Neurology Now article:
In 2006, he put together his first Criminal Minds team for the “Start to Finish MS Bike Tour,” one of over 100 rides nationwide that raises awareness and funding for MS research.
Moore and his team of 60 cyclists raced in the Southern Californiaevent the last two years and plan to bike again in the 2008 event scheduled for September. “Last year’s race raised more than $700,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society,” Moore says. “After all these years of
working out, it’s nice to be able to use a sport to give back.”
That’s an incredible amount of money for the cause - go Criminal Minds team! It also shows how much Shemar loves and respects his mother. He says:
I wouldn’t be the actor that I am today if it wasn’t for my mom. She taught me to always follow my dreams and not let anythingstand in my way. She’s my hero.
