Every 5 minutes someone is diagnosed with MS. This disease has no boundaries, is not discriminating....it can happen to anyone! We do #TheMay50K because it’s a global disease with limited awareness in certain parts of the world, but also within orgnisations there is a lot of misunderstanding. Education , awareness & understanding diet , exercise & good mental health are so important to cope with this condition!  Since I came out as a patient and when I started talking about my MS, I got a lot of messages and questions from other patients all over the world. Often sad messages. The misunderstanding is one of our biggest enemies. Companies firing people who get the diagnose, applicants rejected when being honest about their condition and not getting the job....this is discrimination and shouldn't be happening. 70% of the MS patients live a normal life without to many symptoms, but due to the misunderstanding and little awareness companies think an MS patient will be a 'problem' instead of an added value. This misconception must change....therefore we, MS-patients, ambassadors, MS International Federation (MSIF), MS Research and other MS foundations use May as MS awareness month. Herewith a short animation that I hope you will watch. https://lnkd.in/e5jYxgRr Donating to support my challenge this month can be done here: https://lnkd.in/eCXtYAH3 https://lnkd.in/eNYVPxAD #awareness #ms #inclusion

Every five minutes, someone – somewhere in the world – is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), an often misunderstood and debilitating disease affecting over 2.8 million people globally. Despite its prevalence, MS often takes months – or even years – to diagnosis. This is due to common barriers that delay early detection including lack of public awareness of MS symptoms and costly diagnostic tests. That’s why, this #WorldMSDay, I hope you’ll join me in showing support for all those who courageously navigate life with multiple sclerosis, as well as the many others who make up the inspiring MS community. At Sandoz, we are deeply committed to improving the quality of life of people living with MS by pioneering access to more affordable treatment options – and we know this starts with raising awareness of the many ways this condition affects individual and families. I encourage you to take a moment to watch the below animation created by the MS International Federation (MSIF). It is a powerful piece in which you’ll hear first-hand from those living with MS about their journey to diagnosis and treatment, and how they have been affected physically, financially and emotionally since. #MyMSDiagnosis 

This year, due to many things affecting the Epilepsy community, you might see more posts about things Epilepsy related than normal, but please just briefly look at each.  Currently, S is the most pressing in the acronym that gives you a summary of what the multiple posts/messages/e-mails could cover: Transportation issues for people with Epilepsy  Educating - pushing Seizure Safe Schools Act (or     something like it, in PA it is called DOMinate Epilepsy-     which is now in revision stages) requiring seizure first     aid be taught in schools  Advancing - new opportunities (Michael P. Laughlin       Education Center, CDSMP, various virtual networking     groups, VA Center of Excellence, and more) Medical coverage - continued effort to try to make      anti-seizure medications, tests, and ambulance rides      more affordable under various kinds of insurances Share Your Story (a movie should be coming out about      this called Under The Lights.) https://lnkd.in/e-aAxC2C Under The Lights is in its final week of fundraising to hit it's startup plateau amount and is still a little short.  They have donation incentives even at low amounts. I have donated to this cause to show the importance of sharing your story and raising Epilepsy Awareness.  If you donate to this, let me know so I can thank you.  #epilepsyawareness #shareyourstory #epilepsyinourlives #knowledgeispower #overcomingchallenges #fundraising #makeadifference #donate
