The New Faces of MS - Perseverance/True Heros:
STRENGTH IN KNOWLEDGE - Seth Gunderson: "I was diagnosed with MS in September of 2004. Before I was diagnosed I never thought I would have to face an obstacle like this during my life. After my diagnosis I realized that I wasn't going to let this change my life plans, not as long as I can do something about it. Luckily I haven't had any major problems with my health. As thankful as I am for this I still think about all those who are living with MS and aren't able to fulfill their dreams and live their lives like they planned. We need to do all we can to help end the suffering and difficulties associated with this disease and help people achieve their dreams and aspirations once more. I pressed forward with my goals and am currently attending medical school in Missouri; like I said before I'm not going to let this change my life plans. As I learn more and more about the human body and disease processes during my schooling I become more and more aware that knowledge truly is power. It enlightens us, inspires us, and brings light to dark places...."(Face of MS)
