Normally I go for something wacky and funny for my holidays, but today is an important one so I’m choosing to share it sans jokes. \u00a0Today is World MS Day.<\/p>\n
We all know people who lived with or are currently living with MS. \u00a0My mother in law had MS for 35 years. \u00a0 She was an amazing, strong woman who did not let anything stop her – including MS. \u00a0The past and current CEO’s of my company have MS. \u00a0They are both strong smart men who have been big parts of my life and my career and I look up to both of them so much.<\/p>\n
MS is, simply put, a bitch.\u00a0 It affects everyone differently, making determining treatment difficult. \u00a0Some people have excruciating pain, some have none. \u00a0Some have years of latency where their symptoms do not progress, some people experience very rapid symptom progression. \u00a0There is no cure.<\/p>\n
Take a moment today to visit the National MS Society website at http:\/\/www.nationalmssociety.org\/<\/a>\u00a0and learn more about this condition.<\/p>\n Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Normally I go for something wacky and funny for my holidays, but today is an important one so I’m choosing to share it sans jokes. \u00a0Today is World MS Day.
