I also have M.S. and was somewhat shafted by an Insurance company that I had been paying money to for around 20 years. I got nothing and was told that because my monthly payment was late, that M.S. and payouts don’t go together.

My M.S. is aggressive and put me in a wheelchair inside 2 years. I also trained in Kyokushin Karate for many years, no more, I worked in I.T. for many years for companies such as Compaq and Netscape (Aust. Head Office), etc. No Longer.

Love your site, fyi I found it via Eric Meyer’s site which is one of my regular reads. M.S. has severely effected my vision as well.

Cheers from Down Under!

I am Bruce’s Instructor. He amazed me last week by actually sparring in the ring for 2 x 2 minute rounds. People who are not afflicted by this draining disease don’t have half the heart that Bruce has. Pure determination and hard work from Bruce has made me very proud and pleased. When he first started, he had no confidence in his abilities at all. Two years later, he is starting to show his potential.

Marina cried two months ago. She wouldn’t get in the ring at all. Last week, she boxed like she had been training for years.

Well done both!

You should have seen the rainbow-like effect on my nose last week when I took a round kick to the proboscis. Ouch …
