According to the National MS Society, “Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another.”

What can I do to help?
The YMCA in Catonsville currently offers swim therapy for adults suffering from MS every Friday and Sunday from 1pm to 4pm. Through UMBC's Shriver Center and the Service-Learning Program, you can support these adults through weekly service with MS Swim.
