Multiple Sclerosis interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body. Every hour, someone is newly diagnosed with this unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women than men contract the disease. More than 20,000 people in the state of Illinois, live with MS. Today, there is no known cure.
