When I was diagnosd with multiple sclerosis 7 years ago I thought my life was over. Within months all the things I loved seemed out of reach. My right side was so weak and my body so uncoordinated that I couldn’t control two separate skiis and hold onto poles and stay upright. I spent the next year doing yoga, qigong, anything that might help me get my strength and flexibility back. Six years ago I strapped on a snowboard, took lessons through an adaptive program, and have never looked back. MS is a disease that takes and takes until the person with it has no more to give – it’s progressive and there is no cure. I know I won’t be able to snowboard forever, but I can ride now. I ride as much as I can because every turn I make today will become a memory that carries me through what lies ahead.

Great write up, and thanks for letting us into your life a little bit more! Your snowboard pic is so much better than your down and out pic! +1 for snowboarding!! Jon T

What, at the time, seemed insignificant turned out to be a life altering event. Things have never been the same.
