Well, this could be helpful, but it also seems scary. I know it would be helpful for treatment, but I don’t know how confident I could be with knowing my probable fate…

People are more likely to make this dietary change, and stick with it, if they embrace it, really look forward to the wonderful food that comprises the diet, and don’t feel like they are depriving themselves or missing out somehow.

Health Spot! Get inspired to be healthy. Look good, feel good, be healthy. It doesn't have to be like pulling teeth! :)

walk for a cure. run with a purpose.

“Several years ago, I injured my leg so badly that my doctor told me I’d never run again. I was devastated at the prospect of giving up my passion and afraid that I’d never regain the full use of my leg. After three long years of rehabilitation, I was miraculously given the green light and knew that I had to partner with an amazing cause for my post-injury run. This past March, I ran my first half marathon in honor of people with MS to raise money to find a cure and to fund research for new treatments that slow disease progression. I ran to make sure other people don't have to live in fear and can have hope for their futures. I ran because I understand a piece of what it’s like to be unable to do what you love. Through Run MS, I raised over $5,000 towards our goal of finding a cure. I am proud to serve as a Board Member for the National MS Society, National Capital Chapter and I have witnessed, from this perspective, the progressive approach the Society takes and their well-planned use of donations.” -Abbie Laugtug #JoinTheMovement

My mother and I need your help, tumblr!

My mother is one of the greatest people anyone could ever hope to meet. She is so kind, loving, and supportive of everything I’ve ever done and she continues to serve as an inspiration in my life. Unfortunately, my mother has a condition called Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Among the many ways MS affects my mother, the most obvious is her teeth. 

Over the course of the 20 years she has had MS, my mother has had seizures. These seizures caused her to smash her teeth together, creating micro-cracks in her teeth. One by one, her teeth have crumbled apart due to the impact of her seizures. She has very few left in the front and no molars. Our health insurance, provided to us from the United States Armed Forces due to my father’s 20 years in the service, refuses to cover the cost of fixing her teeth. My father served in Air Force for 20 years before retiring. During this time he served in the Gulf War, Bosnia, Somalia, Iraq, and Turkey. Yet the military has made it clear that they will not take care of us, despite originally promising to cover the cost of her surgery. They then ruled that my mother’s teeth were not caused by an injury or accident, so they won’t cover the procedure that will save her from constant mouth infections and terrible pain every time she eats. More than that, due to the infections caused by the shards of teeth still left in her mouth, she can not start revolutionary immuno-suppressant drugs for her MS because the infections could overwhelm her body and kill her.  They put our “out-of-pocket” costs at $17,000, more than two years of my college tuition. We are a family that lives on one income due to my mother’s inability to work with her MS, so this figure is out of our league.  Please help in any way that you can. Donate, or simply share this page to help get the word out. It means the world to me because my mother is my hero and I would love to get her a new lease on life.

As the block quote says, you can donate to my mother here donate to my mother here  donate to my mother here

or simply share this message to help spread the word. I’ve seen tumblr do some amazing things. I’m hoping this can be one of them!
