Today is day eighteen of thirty-two and I’m delighted to post the letter I received from Liz. In it, she writes, “I don’t think I have much to add to the topic of MS; millions around the world live day to day with this illness and have probably experienced similar steps so my words and thoughts are not unique. But here I write because you have asked and I feel that it’s good to pause. It’s cathartic. It’s healthy. It’s something I should have done sooner!” Please click on the link below to read her uplifting letter.
