My mother lived with Multiple Sclerosis when I was growing up. I remember the days of feeling huge responsibility, of being scared that her illness would overwhelm her and of feeling isolated from friends, though I was fortunate to share this caring experience with my father and brother. In those days, there was little help around and life was tough for a wheelchair user.

Let’s reach out and make sure that everyone knows there is support available no matter who they are
