My knowledge level about MS has changed. The MS Society’s education efforts have given me and my family a solid foundation. Knowledge is power when facing the uncertainty of a life with MS.
My life has changed – both daily life and plans for the future. I’ve learned about many MS symptoms first hand. It’s a challenge to work and do daily tasks while having vision loss, vertigo and weakness in my hands. The fear and reality of cognitive changes is frightening.
I’ve learned that people care about me and others with MS. Yes, friends and family care, but perfect strangers also care. I’m humbled but encouraged by the hundreds of people who ride numerous miles to raise awareness about MS and who are willing to raise significant money to further the work of the National MS Society.
I’ve learned that the National MS Society is a great organization that provides programs and services for those of us living with MS and is a driving force of MS research, relentlessly pursuing prevention, treatment and a cure.
I’ve learned that, thanks to the work of the National MS Society, the generosity of fundraisers and donors and the support of family and friends, life does goes on - and can still be very very good.
Thank you for riding and walking, every mile has meaning.
Thank you for fundraising, every dollar makes a difference.
Thank you for caring, you’ve touched a life.
