A Special Week

This week, March 13-17, 2006 is designated as National Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week. My saintly wife is blessed with/struggles with MS, having been diagnosed at age 19 and already in a wheelchair when I met her at age 24. She still works full-time, driving herself to work each day and always full of hope for what the future may hold. Her biggest complaint in life is often that she is stuck with me for eternity! :-)

Affecting 400,000 Americans (2.5 million worldwide) with 200 new people diagnosed each week, it is likely you know someone who has MS. If you have a chance, visit the Face of MS website to see examples of people affected by MS - it is both informational and moving.
