it is an important part of a healthy acceptance of this mangy disease... to become active... for your own health, and then beyond ourelves to the health of those after us... maybe the bits we do today can be the catalyst for a cure for our children, and theirs....

think of the money we'd save, and the production we'd gain! without ms.... ...if 'they' don't care that we hobble, maybe they'll care about how much it costs when we have a bunch of hobblers...

what little bit i do (encouragement, information sharing, organizing greetings,whatever...), i feel, makes me, my family, my friends, community, and the world.... a bit better... it lessens the burden of the ms bag

i encourage folks who may not be the one to write a letter, or join a walk, to find a way... even by staying here on message boards to support others... find a way to give... to use ms as your strength.... let ms be on your side... let it be what makes you powerful, unique, and able to do more now than you could before...

peace friends!
onward and upward!
yesterday was a hard one b/c had to decide which med to go on and tell my 9 year old...i appreciate your message and positiveness (is that a word??) oh well--blame the spinal tap i had yesterday...just tired but also encouraged by the strength of this community...

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt

I'm all set for our local walk. Our team is "Walk & Roll" LOL.

I went and had my haircut today and they had something posted on all of the hairdresser's mirrors. I asked if they were doing the walk and they said they didn't really know anything about it. So I gave a little talk while getting my haircut to the stylists and customers about MS and the walk. Of course, I did also ask them to join my team. Hey, we have $2,000 fund raising goal and it's only a couple of weeks away.
