Multiple Sclerosis SUCKS! But living life is awesome.

Calling all MS fighters

Wow, what an awesome group of responses so far. You all have my mind working and thinking of doing something related to/for all or you fighting this disease and living life in awesome ways. I'm not sure were this will go, but lets try.

My email is [email protected]. If any of you who has MS or are care partners with someone who has MS would send me a picture or two on or with your Spyder, I've some ideas. Please give me contact information as well--name and email is fine. To use any of our photos publishers will need our permission, that is why contact information is needed. Initially I'm thinking a simple article, similar to the one I've posted above, featuring Spyder riders with MS might support awareness campaigns etc.

Like I said, I'm not sure where this will lead, but if anyone is interested you have my email. And please continue to post here. It is awesome hearing from all of you.

Best regards,
Philippe

Count me in!

I also have M.S. - relapsing remitting - and just switched to a Spyder. Figure it'll let me ride into my 70's. Maybe 80's. I'll be happy to send a pic sometime soon. Being diagnosed with MS (20 years ago) is what inspired me to get a divorce and a motorcycle. More afraid of not living than dying...

Great pictures!!

I'm not in a wheelchair yet, but I'm pretty sure I can see one from here. I walk with difficulty, even using a cane. I hobble out to the garage feeling old, climb onto the Spyder, fire it up, and all my physical challenges melt away. Financially, I really can't afford the RT, but for the quality of life it brings, I can't afford not to have it. I'm so thankful that my :bowdown: wife overcame my objections. I can fly again. :clap:

By the way, that's a cool looking dog.

 

[CANUCK SPYDER]

I also was dia with MS about five years ago but it certainly was there before that. Spyder is perfect for someone that isn't confident with thier balance. I have next too no experience on 2 wheels so the few hours it took to learn too ride the Spyder was easy and well worth it. I also tested positive for The lyme bacteria last summer either way something's taken my strength and balance. But can get out and ride with my two wheel buds. D

This is an inspirational thread, and I wish everyone affected by the challenge of MS all the best.

Dog

By the way, that's a cool looking dog.

His name is Memphis. He is an awesome boy at the late stage of his life. Here is the strange thing--he was diagnosed with Canine Degenerative Myelopathy last year. It is the dog equivalent to MS. How is that for ironic?

Incredible! Give him some pets for me.

"Mentalfloss II"

We had a sailboat named Mentalfloss, so this seemed appropriate.

Love those Hobies :yes:
