Multiple sclerosis is an insidious disease. It’s like that big spider, hiding in some shadowed corner, sneaking into an unsuspecting camper’s sleeping bag & creeping up their leg whilst they peacefully sleep in a lean-to in the midst of the night.

I’ve written frequently of the many obstacles that cancer survivors with a desire to enjoy life outdoors face.

I’ve shared little, if anything, of the often much less visible challenges MS presents those living life in the mountains.

As a fifteen-year Adirondack life outdoor survivor blessed with a dual diagnosis, I hope my experiences, insights & lessons learned are of value to others who may be struggling to cope.

Each day we are in is a blessing!

In life there is hope!
