Getting involved
I found myself trying to find ways to get involved.
I participated in a few of the MS Walks sponsored by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. I think the Walk is a positive thing for a few reasons. First, I was raising money that would go towards research and support. Secondly, I was raising awareness. People who knew very little about MS were now finding out since I was asking for money from them. Finally, the Walk itself was therapeutic. I enjoyed seeing other people raising money for this cause. I was able to see a lot of people - some disabled, some not - who have MS.
So now that I've had this for almost eight years, I wanted to share my story and experiences on this website and hopefully get others involved by sharing their experiences.
There are all kinds of activities in which one could get involved. For me, I found it helpful to get up and do something.
