Wow, time has gone by and just 2 weeks till my first Walk MS. My team is close to goal, but even with what I've taken in the team hasn't made it yet. This project has become very important to me for a number of reasons.

Being in the windshield repair business I get the the opportunity to meet many people with many different backgrounds. I'm equally surprised at how diverse the Oklahoma City population is. I've met and performed windshield repairs for people from Scotland, England, Canada, Germany, Saudi, Iraq, Iran, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, China, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and Mexico, to name some of the countries. With that I've learned that while we may look different and have different ideas we have common ground, that includes both values as well as problems.

With the above in mind, I've met the daughter that is about my oldest son's age, whose mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis about a year ago and is having a tough time. Lets not forget the African American grandpa that has a young grandchild with MS. Nor should we leave out the uncle of a Native American nephew diagnosed at 25 and in a wheel chair at 26. These are just a few of the Okies that fight and struggle with MS everyday; some people you may meet, you would never guess that they have a problem.

So while many of us enjoy Easter this weekend and get together with family, I ask you to take a minute to think of what it would be like if suddenly you couldn't walk or see. What if it happened to your son or daughter, mother or father; and remember MS is the number one disabling disease of young adults. Then take a minute and make a donation to either the Oklahoma MS Society or if you like, to my team. The links are on the top of the left column.

I'll close this post with a very good You Tube video that I found about a 25 year old mother with Multiple Sclerosis and would like to share it with my readers. Mankind has beaten Polio and Small Pox, the cure for MS is in reach.
