Saturday, March 20 (Day 9): Sometimes things happen that just makes all of the time and hard work seem worth it. This morning we had a MS Chapter Board Meeting/Retreat and as part of the morning we had a young man come and speak to the Board. The young man was diagnosed with MS while in high school. Despite battling the disease, he graduated with an outstanding academic record and was awarded a scholarship from our Chapter to help defray some of the costs of going to college. His mother has said that without the scholarship, he most likely would not have been able to go to college. He is now attending the University of Louisville and came to tell the Board about his first year in college. The best part about what he said was that it sounded like the experience of any other freshman in college. It was so great to hear about his year and how well he was doing. Honestly, he is such an inspiration. I want to do what I can to help more young folks like him go to college. When I got home I wrote a check to the MS Chapter and restricted it for use for its scholarship fund.
