She keeps herself in shape and can be seen in this video chugging along at about 5.5. miles per hour with her yellow shirt and black shorts. She was the first one in after the "up to" three mile event.

I have put together a video presentation of that day. Please click twice on the start button to view it.

I just found this thread using google

My wife Davina also has MS and we're just two years away before I can retire and we can come to live in TV. As she is on SSDI she just went on medicare in TN. The drug she's on is tysabri. Just wondering if other MS patients in TV are currently on medicare.
The cost of this drug is a mere $44K per year but all the durgs that treat the disease but unfortunately not cure it, are very very expensive.

So if you know anyone, I woud like to reach out to them.

thanks
