Nearly one million people live with multiple sclerosis in the US. Over the past 75 years, the National MS Society has been the driving force for progress and paved the way for nearly all the treatment options available today—but, they’re not finished yet. The Society is determined to be a lifelong partner and resource for every person affected by MS—those diagnosed with the disease and their loved ones—and to ultimately find a cure.
The money I raise through my fundraiser will help fund MS research, programs and services so that people affected by MS can live their best lives.
Please help me create a world free of MS.
I have excessive damage from lesions in my brain and cervical spine caused by M.S. When doctors meet me for the first time, after reading my reports, expect to see me in a wheel chair.
You can read a letter from my neurologist on his views of how I manage to function outside of a wheel chair.
