I have a lot of people asking me “What is Multiple Sclerosis?”. Simply speaking, Multiple Sclerosis, or MS for short, is an unpredictable disease that attacks the brain and spinal cord. Individuals diagnosed with MS experience neurological symptoms which affect their physical and cognitive activities. This makes it hard for these individuals to perform the everyday tasks that we take for granted. More scientific explanation can be found here.
Why should I care?
Everyday, three more people in Canada are diagnosed with MS. Between 55,000 – 75,000 Canadians are living with MS today. Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world. Chances are there is someone in your social circle who is fighting MS right now.
The video below gave me an insight on what it is like to live with MS.
