Back when I was in elementary school I was the best of friends with a girl in my neighborhood. We spent every day after school together and enjoyed sleepover on the weekends. We spent so much time together that eventually out mothers became best friends! I remember things changing drastically one year, I wasn’t old enough to understand what was going on at the time, but I knew my friend’s mother was in a lot of pain. She had been diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and from that moment forward, life was never the same. I can recall times she was in so much pain that she would have to pull over in the car and rest. It was then that our families discovered that our town raised awareness each year with the MS walk. For several years our team participated in the MS walk, raising money and taking the 10 mile walk each year on the designated day. While my friend’s mother eventually became to weak to participate in the walk with us, I felt so proud representing her and contributing towards finding a cure.

After witnessing the many years of my friend’s mother dealing with her disability, I realized there were many limitations and obstacles for her to overcome just to get through the day normally. Places like the The National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association work to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities.
