Leanne Moore,
MS Global Cyclist & Fundraiser |
Meet Leanne, a MS Global cyclist who was diagnosed with MS 27 years ago at the age of 19.
"
I was scared as I didn't truly know what having MS meant. Was I going to be able to finish college? Would I ever get married and have a family? Would I be confined to a wheelchair by the time I was 21?
Now, I can honestly look this disease in the eyes. I am married. I have a beautiful family. I'm in the best shape of my life, and I
truly believe that exercise and challenging yourself is beneficial in dealing with this disease."
Leanne is riding and raising money so that people with MS can
receive health education programs on exercise, nutrition, and motivation, at no cost to them.
Learn more about how you can support MS Global Scholarships and enable hundreds of families to thrive through education.

Learning to be Resilient in the World of MS
An adversity such as a MS diagnosis can push you out of your comfort zone and into the unknown. Often, this comes unexpectedly, leaving little time to prepare. When you hear those dreaded words, "You have MS," panic automatically sets in, causing you great distress.
So how can you overcome what you have no control over? You can discover your own resilience.

Question:
Since my diagnosis, my balance has worsened significantly. Once lost, can balance improve?
