Watch Alison rip up keeping active.“Avoiding aids so you don’t look disabled? That’s human.Using those aids to keep living and exploring life? That’s smart.”- Unknown
"One obstacle I've been able to overcome even though I have MS is keeping active and that means for me finding different things. Since my struggle is with my leg and walking, I had to find other activities such as kayaking. So I'm gonna rip that up, RIP us MS."
"A couple examples? I use a leg brace to help if I need to walk longer distances or on uneven ground. I use a cooling vest and cooling neck wrap to help me deal with heat sensitivity. These aids help keep active and for that I am forever grateful."

Watch Kim rip up the Arizona heat.
Hi. So my name is Kim and I have been living with a diagnosis of MS since about 1992. And it wasn't until I moved to Arizona in 2009 that I really understood the meaning of heat intolerance. The Arizona summers as everybody knows are brutal and getting more brutal. I was becoming so fatigued I couldn't go out and take a walk. I couldn't even run errands. Sometimes I was extremely tired and depressed and feeling awful for the whole summer and then I actually bought my ThermApparel vest. And this thing is awesome. I can go out and walk. I hike with it. I use it outside or if I've just been out running errands, and I come back and I'm kind of overheated. I put it on and sit in the house and cool off. So that's kind of how I've overcome some of dealing with the Arizona heat and ripped it up!
