FEW WORDS ABOUT THE
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SOCIETY

        Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks your nervous system. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of the disease cannot be predicted; symptoms may range from numbness to paralysis and blindness. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40, but the unpredictable physical and emotional effects can last forever. The National MS Society is dedicated to ending the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis.
        The researchers has found away to slow it down or pause it. But no real cure as of this time. It is getting closer with your help.

All stories are from Belleville Times, Belleville Post, Star Ledger
Newspapers and Bike Mike's own stories.

        What you are about to read are based on a true story about Big Mike Dowd. Taken and edited from local newspapers. Basically about Mike in the bike tours he does. Includes some photos to go with some of the stories. Some stories was done by Big Mike.
