I Was So Mad

by Jackie Piper

I read a book to my young grandchildren called "I Was So Mad" about a little critter that is furious that he can't get what he wants. It expresses perfectly how I feel about MS. I am "so mad" that the cure for MS eludes us so far! Instead of throwing a tantrum, I am thrilled and privileged to be a part of the movement to make a cure happen through Challenge Walk MS 2013.

I am training in northern Minnesota this week while on vacation and we are staying in a small resort with 12 cabins. There are three unrelated people here this week who have MS. That makes me "so mad!” However, I am so grateful to the Wisconsin Chapter of the NationalMS Society for giving me the opportunity to do something about it.
