Won’t you join me?

Depending on the depth of our relationship as friend, family, colleague or random reader it may not be well known that I have MS — Multiple Sclerosis. This week is one of the few times each year I make an effort to talk about the disease, it’s effects, and the future. And me. The rest of the year it’s merely another thread that is woven in with countless others that makeup me, my life, and experiences.

Before the sun sets on the 17th it is my endeavor to share with you my personal story. I’ve yet to determine how I’m going to do that. I’ve considered writing, of course, and also the possibility of using video to tell my story. In retrospect, video is something that will have to wait for later — not enough time.

My question to you today is… Won’t you join me? Join me in becoming aware of Multiple Sclerosis. Aware of its effects on countless people across the country and throughout the world. Aware of the reality that you already know someone that has MS but don’t realize it.  Please join me today. If nothing more, take just a few moments to go to the website and learn a little more about MS.

And no, this isn’t the disease that Jerry (Lewis) does a telethon for each year. I’ve been asked that question countless times.
