My Story

About the Book

“My Story: A Personal Journey” tells a sometimes humorous tale, conveying how we drew strength from one another to live productive lives despite some trying times along the way. Three sons, numerous pets and several moves combine to lend a light-hearted view of a devastating illness. Much of the published information about Multiple Sclerosis does not touch on the human dynamics of the disease. I hope that by reading my experiences, those who are recently diagnosed will come away with a new vision of dealing with Multiple Sclerosis.

About the Author

I was diagnosed with MS in 1987. Since that time, many have asked me about my illness and I have shared numerous stories about the challenges that I faced with this disease. When my son created “The Team 24/Seven” Foundation in honor of the twenty-fourth anniversary of my diagnosis, I decided that it was time to compile our many experiences as a family who learned to cope with the day-to-day challenges of MS.
