MS drive to get underway
Mrs. Lenna Mansfield will lead the
Hertford area Door to Door appeal to
raise funds for the fight against MS
(Multiple Sclerosis). The
announcement was made today by
Lee Carey, Chairman of the National
Multiple Sclerosis Society. Funds
given in the campaign will be used to
expand research, chapter services,
and public education for residents of
Eastern North Carolina.
Multiple Sclerosis is a neurological
disease affecting the brain and spinal
cord. It is not contagious nor is it a
mental disease. It has been called the
'mysterious crippler of young
adults" because it is usually first
diagnosed between the ages of IS and
SO.
Technically, the disease attacks
the myelin sheathing of the central
nervous system, destroying it in
patches. The myelin sheath acts
much like the insulation around
telephone wires, and when it is
. destroyed, the flow of nerve impulses
to and from the brain are interrupted
or distorted. The resultant symptoms
from the destruction of myeline can
be: paralysis, double vision, bladder
or bowel problems, loss of balance,
loss of coordination, and speech and
hearing difficulties, among others.
There are more than 500,000 people in
America with MS.
Anyone wishing to help in the drive
for MS, or would like to contribute,
please call Mrs. Mansfield at
(919)428-7610. We need volunteers
and your help would be greatly
appreciated.
