Good point, Bill. I tend to believe that it was a flowery way of saying they have MS but I could be wrong.

Even still, I would think that if the local chapters really have a database citing those "touched" by MS, they would know how many have MS. But, I guess it is also possible that it's a statistical allocation of the 400,000 number and how many people in an "average" family.

Nevertheless, the primary issue still remains for me. The numbers are way off.
