NOTE

Whilst I am the current admin of this group, I do not moderate or actively particpate in any activity of the group. I was invited in early 2014 to become a member, in which I did. Shortly afterward the original creator left, leaving me this group... I had previously created one of the largest Autism Awareness groups on steam, so perhaps I was in a way focused in on as a likely candidate for managing this group. Frankly I have no time, if anyone would like to take over full operation of the group please leave a message in the group chat.

Multiple sclerosis is a complex disease. While it is most often diagnosed in young adults, aged 15 to 40, we know that it affects children, some as young as two years old. The impact is felt by family, friends and by the community. MS is unpredictable, affecting vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. Its effects are physical, emotional, financial, and last a lifetime. There is no cure.
