Multiple Schlerosis is a
chronic, often disabling dis
ease that randomly attacks the
nervous system. The progress,
severity and specific symptoms
of the disease cannot be pre
dicted; symptoms range from
numbness and loss of motor
skils, to paralysis. Most people
with MS are diagnosed be
tween the ages of 20 and 40.
The National MS Society was
founded in 1946 to provide ser

fund research to find the cause
of and cure for Multiple Sclero
