About the Multiple
Sclerosis Support Network
The MS Mobility Foundation is a
non-profit organization that is dedicated to making people disabled
by MS mobile outside their home. There is currently very little to
no funding for this. There is a desperate need for this kind of
help. The Foundation is new, and we are in the process of
submitting grants to be able to start making people mobile! But we
need YOUR help! Visit this website, and visit it often. Sign up
for our monthly newsletter, and most importantly share this cause
with your friends. The ONLY way the Foundation can get funds is by
letting donors know that there is a need. Even if you are mobile,
there are so, so many who are not, and they need your help. Please
do what you can, and be a voice for those who have lost mobility.

We are not medical professionals, nor do we intend to provide any
medical advice to anyone. Please see your family doctor or
neurologist if you have any health care concerns.
Our intention is to provide accurate information from the
perspective of informed patients, and caregivers. We have found a
need for a community of people battling the infinite hurdles of
living with, or loving someone with MS. It is our hope that you
find the resources and support you need to live your life with MS to
the fullest. We have made every effort to provide an honest and
accurate setting in which this can be possible.
We are very concerned that what you find here is factually correct
to the best of medical science's knowledge. If you find anything
here that is factually incorrect, please e-mail us at
contact@mssupportnetwork.com.
We, of course, cannot answer personal
or specific health questions. These need to be discussed with your GP or neurologist.
It is my belief that knowledge is power and that people with MS, or
any other disease for that matter, should have the option to be
actively involved in their own healthcare. They should not to be
dictated to by an "expert" who may, for a number of reasons, not
fully involve the patient in the decision making process.
In order to take part in these decisions, it is vital that we are
well-informed. We see things differently to doctors, we actually
have the disease and its fickle whims directly affect our lives. We
have the right to dictate our own health care choices using medical
professionals purely as advisors and effectors.
