This weekend I jumped on an online call with other folks from all over the world that were part of my HSCT group in Puebla last fall. It was really good to catch up with them ^_^

Ashley M. Kumlien and Thomas Budde stopped in Carrollton, Ohio on Labor Day 2010. While there I got to meet Tom and Ashley while they stopped for a few moments before heading off to the state of PA. Ashley is in this photo with me, Edward L. Hale. I was diagnosed with MS in 2006 and I am a Carroll County MS Activist.
Step by step, Ashley M. Kumlien is running to make a difference for people battling multiple sclerosis.
She has been running 25-30 miles a day since she left San Francisco in April to raise money for multiple sclerosis research. She plans to reach New York City by Sept. 30. The distance is roughly 3,200 miles. She calculated that she could complete the run in six months by running 20 miles a day.
Her run was inspired by her mother, Jill Kumlien, who was diagnosed with MS 28 years ago. The disease has given her mother seizures and balance issues. Some days she is a little fuzzy; on others she can think clearly. She is losing her fine motor skills.

I always enjoy volunteering for charity work for those who are more courageous than I am especially for those among us who live and fight a much tougher battle everyday in their family lives. I had an opportunity to volunteer my photography services for the MS Society last week for a WAMS function and this candid moment, as they prepared for their portrait shot in the booth, makes my two hours of driving in an ice storm worth every moment.
April, 16th, 2013 - I must take a moment here to thank my photojournalism instructor Peter Sibbald - www.petersibbald.com who opened my eyes to the world of capturing humanity through my camera lens. Though I took this class for the purpose of enhancing my wedding photography skills, he taught and guided me to see beyond the surface and reach deeper into capturing the relationships between people. Thank you Peter.

She doesn't always walk with a cane -- only when the M.S. symptoms are flaring. But, she's still coming along with me. Even if the walk is slow.
Yesterday marked the 5th year of my washout of all MS drugs . Had I stayed on the drug it’d be $540k by now

Watch video interview here Betty Jones Alston was paralyzed from the waist down this January due to multiple sclerosis which she was diagnosed with in 1990. She had begun dropping things and attributed it to being very busy and worn down directing a food ministry and prison ministry, but it was not so.
But she is walking again and on a recent chilly spring day, she was methodically making her way down the steep entrance steps of the J.S. Jenks School after a meeting about her grandson, a student. She placed her three-footed aluminum cane on the step below her before taking each step.
Also afflicted with lupus Minister Alston credits her faith, positive attitude and taking control of her body for enabling her to continue to lead an active life. She also sings gospel but due to a recent illness, was not able to sing in the accompanying video.
A flock of sheep in West Lothian have turned orange to celebrate MS Week 2012 (30 April – 6 May). They have been given the coat of animal-friendly paint by farmer Andrew Jack to help raise awareness of multiple sclerosis in Scotland.
