“Where a healthy, happy & beautiful YOU, starts from the inside out!”

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.

While most people are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, MS can appear in
young children and teens as well as much older adults. Studying the disease in different age groups may help scientists determine the cause of MS and explain why the disease course differs from one person to another.

My sister Jo Anne is 65 and lives with MS for over 40 yrs., she is a fighter and I walk for the research and one day a cure.
