Why We Fight MS
Having multiple sclerosis means that you may not be able to walk when you wake up. Or that you may suddenly have impaired vision. Or that your memory will fail you for no apparent reason. The symptoms of MS are different, and devastating, for everyone ? the only certainty is that it will affect yet another person every hour of every day.
Why I Walk
After losing vision in one eye and experiencing a strange tingling in her arm, my mother, Julia Schultz, was officially diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1980. Because she couldn't have children, my parents adopted me from South Korea when I was four months old in October 1984.
My mom named me after "Heather," an outdoor plant that can be kept in a pot or as an ornamental bush. Heather is low maintenance and able to thrive in marginal soil and is resilient through year-round seasonal changes. I also wear my middle name, Julia, with pride.
In the beginning of 1985, my mom started experiencing severe walking problems. Her MS was labeled as chronic progressive, confining her to a wheelchair. She experienced continuous hand trembles and cortisone-based treatment, which bloated her naturally thin frame. Her condition worsened, but she spent her last four years playing bingo and enjoying visits from her family.
As a testament to my mother who passed away on Jan. 28, 1995, I have participated in the annual MS Walk at Jones Beach State Park in Wantagh, Long Island since I organized my own team in 2006. Last year was the first year I raised over $2,000. My goal is to surpass the $2,500 donation mark in 2013. You can help me accomplish this goal. Don't forget that every penny counts.
