About Me
I am an Insulin Dependent Diabetic, who was diagnosed with Secondary Progressive MS. I have been married for almost 23 years and have three wonderful children. My goal is to not let MS get me down, So now that I am at the point of using a power chair, I tell myself that by using the chair I can be more involved in my children's lives, and that makes it all worth while.
