Live Event: Celebrate Success: Improving Life for People with MS Living with MS isn't easy, and everyone has their own ways of dealing with symptoms, changes in lifestyle and other issues that arise. Still, there are no doubt days when everything is spiraling out of control and you just want to shout, "There must be a better way!"
Maybe there is.
The MS community is unique in the way its members interact and actively share helpful strategies and ideas. We've witnessed this firsthand in our newsletters, where our members often write in to help one another. On a larger scale, there's the MS Leaders of Hope, a community program that recognizes people who have responded to the challenges of MS in ways that inspire others.
In our August program, you'll meet three of the MS Leaders of Hope:
Liz Minor talks about overcoming problems with memory Amy Leckinger shares her winning time management strategies Joy Wagner's fitMS rehabilitation program can aid with mobility Be sure to attend our August 25 program live on the Internet for your chance to win one of three $100 Amazon.com gift certificates - good for books, music, movies, clothing, electronics and household items.
We hope the ideas from these MS leaders inspire you to improve your life and your approach to your disease - and maybe even build on their successes.
