Happy Thanksgiving! Despite our challenges of living with MS, we have many blessings in our life to be thankful for; wouldn’t you agree? Let’s dedicate some time and conscious energy being thankful this week of Thanksgiving. I’m thankful for you! Congratulations to “Dr” Becky Thomas! Let’s give Dr Becky some high fives, hugs and congrats…
Friends, As we go through challenges with MS, we like to share experiences; what works, what doesn’t work etc. with each other. The more we learn about MS and the challenges that come along with it, the more we realize MS is different for all of us. I’d like to share a little about…
Friends, We sure are fortunate to have all the volunteers we have, aren’t we? I try to thank our volunteers often but I’m not sure I could thank them enough. All of us with MS appreciate having the help we get from our amazing volunteers. I don’t know how many times I hear how…
Friends, We all get excited when one of us makes progress in some way. I loved it last week when Wendy said “this smile isn’t coming off my face for days”. We all know Wendy’s always smiling and making the best of her challenges with MS. So why was she so excited last week? …

Friends, You’ll have to ask Sue about her outdoor adventure this last weekend. These vehicles are available through a borrowing program where you can borrow it and a trailer to haul it for free. Here’s a link to an article about it with some information about it. https://www.jsonline.com/story/travel/wisconsin/2019/09/25/access-ability-wisconsins-motorized-outdoor-wheelchairs-can-handle-any-terrain-and-free-borrow/2167213001 I love it when get together as…
Friends, Wow! We had a fun and educational week last week. Alison did an awesome presentation on the benefits of fasting with MS. It’s really encouraging that research is showing evidence that fasting kills off unhealthy cells and stimulates healthy stem cells within our own body. Interesting research happening! It’s also interesting that Alison…
Friends, I just love how this is such a sharing community. What do we share? We share our time, our knowledge, our journey, our gifts and our love. Talk about sharing, how about our volunteers that keep coming back week after week, month after month, year after year. Do you ever stop and think…
