People get involved in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis for various reasons, but for many of the participants in a local walk, the fight is personal.
Donna Feese understands the “emotional rollercoaster” MS brings into a family.  She lost her only brother Mike from complications of MS in 2004.

He was diagnosed with progressive MS in 1990. After learning that her brother had MS, Donna began getting involved in organizations and the MS Walks so that she could help, not only her brother, but others that have been diagnosed with this disease as well.

While most people know of MS, they often don’t know a lot about the disease. Donna said people tend to be negative and shy away from the issue because they don’t want to think about the disease. For Donna, however, it became important to research, read literature and learn as much as she could.
