[Re-sent] Aug 3 Friday Night 6-Pack

Hello friends --I'm trying something different and I'd love to hear your opinion. I'm going to send out a weekly email called "The Friday Night 6-Pack" where I list 6 things of interest in the MS world that happened in the last week. It could include events, studies, announcements, new products, articles, podcast releases (wink) - whatever!  I want this to be a great resource for information, inspiration, and motivation. Hit "reply" to this email and let me know what you think!So - let's get started:1) This past Tuesday, July 31st was J.K. Rowling's birthday. She is the author of the wildly successful "Harry Potter" book series. This is significant to us because her mom had MS and she has donated a ton of money to MS research and even funded a neurology clinic in England. Happy birthday, J.K.!!  J.K. Rowling's MS Story2) There may be a new roadmap for repairing the damage of Multiple Sclerosis. This article talks about drugs being developed to actually repair myelin. Let that sink in a minute! Repairing the damage of MS3) Do you have a pet that senses your MS issues? I do. I wrote about him (Rascal) for Healthline.com. Here's the article: Some Dogs Just Know4) Stem Cell Therapy seems to be a hot topic in MS right now. It's super interesting - and very promising - but there are businesses out there preying on people's hopes and fears. I've got some podcast episodes coming up where I interview MS'ers who have gone through it. Stay tuned. Meantime, here's an article about it: MS and Stem Cell Therapy5) Have you given up a passion because of MS? That's BS! Don't give the bastard any more than it already takes. Live with passion: And The Band Plays On6) I just published a new episode of the FUMS Podcast Show today! I interviewed Dr. Fred Ferlic of the TayCo Brace company all about a revolutionary new ankle brace to replace the old AFO's that cause so much pain and tissue damage. Listen right here: FUMS Episode 18

So - that's it. Hope you enjoyed this Friday Night 6-Pack! Please hit "reply" and let me know what you think. All thoughts and ideas welcome.  And don't forget to head over to the FUMS Facebook community. There's always a lot going on over there!Cheers -- Kathy
