Now through Sunday, February 19, 2018 get either of the Hope Grows patterns for $1. All proceeds go to my BikeMS 150 ride.
I’m riding to find a cure for MS and hopefully a cure for all demyelinating diseases. I have Neuromyelitis Optica which is a similar, rare, demyelinating disease.
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO or Devic’s Disease) is an uncommon disease syndrome of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects the optic nerves and spinal cord. Individuals with NMO develop optic neuritis, which causes pain in the eye and vision loss, and transverse myelitis, which causes weakness, numbness, and sometimes paralysis of the arms and legs, along with sensory disturbances . ~From The National Institute of Neurological Disorders
