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.
