Rock Against MS originally came about when these artists came together to support a long time friend and publicist Nancy Sayle, who was struck with Primary Progressive MS in 2009. This is a severe version of the disease and only 10% are inflicted with this level. This was to assist her with her ever rising medical bills and was an amazing, self-less gathering with a lot of love as well as creating the much needed awareness. Sayle is now paying it forward by creating a foundation to help others. The foundation will provide three programs of assistance:
Home Care: Cleaning, grocery shopping, transportation, cooking, grooming etc…
Holistic Healing and Pain Management: Acupuncture, yoga, reflexology, Pilates, massage therapy.
Emergency Funds: rent, electric, gas and other monthly home bills.
The foundation is a work in progress and needs your help to move it along. Many people with MS are losing their jobs, struggling to cope and in wheelchairs. Many are going on disability ad losing their homes. We want to make their lives better and help them get proper assistance.
About Multiple Sclerosis:
Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system.
MS interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body and stops people from moving.
Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The advancement, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS.
Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease.
MS affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S. and 2.1 million worldwide.
