February 26, 2014

CUTLINE: Lisa Gerrol, president and CEO of the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter, accepts a check from Get Baked bakers Caryn and Emily Woodward. Since opening the Windsor-based bakery on Valentine’s Day in 2012, owner Emily Woodward has collected and donated tips to the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter, in support of her mother, Caryn, who lives with multiple sclerosis, a potentially debilitating disease. This year, Woodward collected $2,643 for the chapter, almost $5,000 the past 2 years. Get Baked prepares everything by hand and from scratch, and features freshly-baked muffins, breads, desserts and breakfast sandwiches. The bakery also specializes in gluten-free and vegan baked goods. Get Baked is located at 25 Central Street, Windsor in the Central Street Antiques Building.

About Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are leading to better understanding and moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with at least two to three times more women than men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 2.3 million people worldwide.
