Why a Blog

Sunday morning, awake at 5.00am. Can you believe my back hurts...

Already realising that my posts will be all over the place, each time I think of one thing to write another five come to mind. I suppose I will have to get some discipline with this.

Here is why I am starting this blog, which is an idea of my brother Peter, Thank you Pete.

Multiple Sclerosis is the leading Neurological disorder in the 20-50 age group in the USA. Every hour another person in America is diagnosed with MS. If you don't know what MS is, I am going to fill you in on how it effects me over the next few years. You know it's going to get repetitive and boring, but that is what MS is all about.

I have been diagnosed with it and because of my situation in life, where I am lucky to have a great family, brilliant friends and working for a wonderful family doing something I love. Not forgetting the dedicated and caring team at The Saint Barnabas Multiple Sclerosis Care Center.
I will be able to cope.

So I am going to try and help other people with MS by launching a Charity. This is going to take lots of effort and I will need to raise loads of money. My aim is to make people suffering from this have a better life and bring them a smile. Because in life I have found that Smiling is better that frowning and laughing is miles better that crying.

So this blog will follow the start of this new Charity, and be a way of letting others know what help I need, If you can help me or have advice please e-mail or leave a comment. Over the next few weeks I will explain how I am going to raise the money as well as how it will be used.

And if you have MS, I send you a big hug.
