| Multiple Sclerosis |


| There are so many families affected with Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. As of now there is NO Cure for the disease. There are over 300,000 people Diagnosed with MS and the numbers are sadly rising. |

We have chosen Multiple Sclerosis as our Charity. People with MS have lots of needs. Every Season brings on new symptoms. Heat is a HUGE trigger for symptoms to start. A rise in the body temperature of even a degree can start symptoms. A lot of people affected with MS are unable to work due to many of the symptoms. That alone, causes many needs. Stress, is another major trigger of exacerbating symptoms of MS. Stress can be something emotional, or an illness, heat/cold change of weather or trying to decide if they should buy there medicines, pay bills, or clothes for their children and school supplies and tuition, oddly even good stress can trigger the symptoms like a family reunion, holidays, or just going to a picnic with their kids. There are many ways that you can help people suffering from MS. Every bit helps. I have listed some items that you may have just laying around and not using, along with some other ideas as well. |
