| I have MS, but MS doesn't have me! |
Why I Fight MS In the past, I have supported this organization as I had an Aunt who suffered from Multiple Sclerosis. However just recently, I myself have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Having multiple sclerosis means that you may not be able to walk when you wake up. Or that you may suddenly have impaired vision. Or that your memory will fail you for no apparent reason. The symptoms of MS are different, and devastating, for everyone - the only certainty is that it will affect yet another person every hour of every day. Why Do I Walk? I've registered for the MS Walk because I want to do something for the people who have been diagnosed - including myself - and because I want to do everything to prevent more people from learning what it means to live with this disease. Today, there is no cure for multiple sclerosis, and with a diagnosis occurring most frequently between the ages of 20 and 50, many individuals face a lifetime filled with unpredictability. Why Should You Sponsor Me? The National Multiple Sclerosis Society will use funds collected from the MS Walk to not only support research for a cure tomorrow, but also to provide programs which address the needs of people living with MS today. Because we choose to walk for those who sometimes can't, because we choose to donate to the MS Walk, we are getting closer to the hour when no one will have to hear the words, "You have MS." My life and MS I have MS but MS doesn't have me! Yeah, I will admit, knowing that I have MS sucked! But, I know that the Lord has a plan...and is using me as a testimony in some form or fashion. I am not sure for whom or what at this point in my life so I take each day in stride. I change the way I do things at times and I work hard to understand what my disease means. Giving myself shots is not appealing but I do it. I know that with family/friends support...it will all be okay. No reason to be down...just take one day at a time! by LaDawn Baten |
