So lets teach y'all a little about MS

I want you all to know what it is im skating for here. MS is a pretty messed up disease. to break it down basically its a disease that stops the brain from controlling the body. you go from being healthy and active to being unable to move. now i don't know about you, but that sounds like something that modern medicine and technology should take a serious interest in curing. not that theres no reasearch going on, but the only results so far are to slow it down or change the course of the disease. the results are invariably debilitating although to different extents for different people. i mean how would you feel if youre an athelete and you one day get told youre gonna be paralyzed in a few years. i dont know about you, but i think that would be pretty cruddy. i consider myself lucky that i dont have MS, but i consider myself luckier to know some of those brave people dealing with it. despite the disease trying to rob them of livelyhood, they turn around and push on every day with a dignity greater than most. and its not like this is something that'll never affect you in some way either. i personally know four people struggling with it, and im sure you all know somebody with MS too. every hour here in the USA, theres another new diagnosis of MS. 400,000 people here in America, and 2.5 million overseas, live with this disease. so take some time, learn about this. lets work for a cure. me, im telling you all about it, and im gonna spend 8 months skating across the country to tell everyone about it. whatre you gonna do?
