Friends, Stretching is critical for all of us with MS, especially those with spasticity. I know I don’t stretch enough. When I do, I feel much better. Be sure you stretch before and after you work out. You’ll be glad you did. Ask for help if you need it, our volunteers are here to…
Friends, We all love it when Becky Thomas brings her physical therapy assistant students from Bryant Stratton College by us to volunteer.

This is an excellent opportunity for the students to learn…
Friends, It’s time to start bike riding together again on Friday mornings @ 7:00am. We’ve been waiting for the weather to get to 45 degrees @ 7:00am. Unfortunately, it looks likes like it’s only going to be 39 degrees this Friday morning…close enough. Dress a little warmer and let’s get out there riding! We…

Friends, It was really nice to see so many of you engage in our nutrition program with Alison and Lauren last Friday. Wake up Todd! I agree with them that you can make a difference and feel the difference in “just a few days” when we actually “do” what they recommend. Alison sure has…
Friends, March Madness was enjoyed at the group last week in our own way. Laura, Gennifer, John and Todd had fun! It’s amazing how many neurological connections are made throwing and catching a ball.
