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.

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.

We watched this helicopter fly in and land to evacuating some climbers from 4620 m. Not an easy job I can imagine, but they did it with precision and grace.

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.

One of the items I made sure to monitor, after my stem cell transplant, was to adjust my diet. I didn’t eat badly before. I adjusted so that fewer things would have an adverse affect on my health. Now, I’m mostly vegetarian, for instance. I do feel better in general, cleaner. I need to monitor what I ingest.

There are a few meds I need to continue to take.

Not for MS though :-)

Representation of disabled people was a major issue of the 1980s and 1990s, particularly in relation to charity advertising. This MS Society campaign made multiple sclerosis the 3rd most feared illness in the UK, after cancer and AIDS. Charity fundraising often obscured the interests of people diagnosed with the condition in question, leading to the creation of the slogan ‘Rights not Charity!’ HELP NDACA DESCRIBE UK DISABILITY HISTORY AND CULTURE - Please read more about this in ABOUT and TAG!
