Walk MS - 14 April 2013

Working at UW Medicine has opened my eyes to the vast population in the Greater Seattle area. There are so many great causes out there, and this is one of them. Please help me to raise some money for the MS Walk.

Millions of people are affected by MS and the challenges of living with its unpredictable symptoms. Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body and it stops people from moving. Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with MS, a disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS.
