Public Service Announcement – MS Support Group Forming
by John Weckerle
We’ve received word from Donna Seagrave on the formation of the East Mountain/Estancia Valley Multiple Sclerosis Support Group. The group will provide support and socialization for people in the area who do not wish to or cannot drive to Albuquerque. Meetings will be held at the Edgewood Community Center on the second Tuesday of each month, beginning January 13, 2008 from 6-8 p.m. and will be facilitated by Donna and Jacqueline. For more information, call 281-0996.
This is great news for area residents who are dealing with the challenges posed by a difficult and not always well understood medical condition. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Sometimes, joining a support group, where you can share experiences and feelings with other people, is a good approach.” We wish the group the best of success and hope those in the area with MS will benefit from it.

The support group won’t be here for Christmas, but it is still one heck of a present. And, it truly will be a gift that keeps on giving.
Good on Donna and Jacqueline. Any idea where you will meet or are you looking for a place?
My goof; I’ve added the location into the main body of the article.
John, thank-you so much for the article and links. Please pass the word to anyone who may have MS or knows of anyone in our community who may want to join! I represent the “mature” half of the group and Jackie, who just transplanted to Edgewood, represents the young and enthusiastic side of MS in our area! So we hope to appeal to All.
