Description: LIVING WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS): COUNTRY MUSIC STAR CLAY WALKER REFUSES TO LET MS STAND IN THE WAY OF HIS DREAMS According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, every hour someone is newly diagnosed with MS, an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system and is the number one disease leading to disability in young adults. It usually strikes adults in the prime of their life, between the ages of 20 and 50. The most common form of this potentially devastating disease is relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). When multi-platinum country music sensation Clay Walker was first diagnosed with RRMS at age 26, his biggest fear was that the disease would halt his active lifestyle. Now, eight years later, Clay continues to record new albums, perform to sold-out crowds, ride horses and run on the beach with his daughters. His disease has also inspired him to become a voice - not just for country music fans -- but for the hundreds of thousands of people with MS and their families across the country. Despite living with RRMS, Clay has had 11 number-one country hits to date and has placed 31 titles on Billboard's top country songs chart, with 15 of them climbing to the top ten. Clay is slated to debut another album this Spring, right on the heels of MS Awareness Week, March 5-11. He is teaming up with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society during MS Awareness Week to raise awareness about MS and help rally support for research.

Melynn511 ::: Favorites I was DX'ed at 24. Took Copaxone for 9 months and then Avonex which I still take today. I'm 31 now, and living life to the fullest! I love to dance and ride my horses. If I get thrown, I get up and say (from xXx) "Woo! Not bad! Let's do it again." If there is one thing I have learned in this life, it's that no matter how hard you try, you're not going to make it out alive. So live well, laugh often, and love much. 07-06-06 13:39:01 __________________________________________________
deborahsl ::: Favorites I am an M.S. patient with the same attitude as you. I will not give up, and the enemy will not win! I love to sing too, but I use my voice to serve the Lord in my local Church. However, I pray someday that I would be able to use my voice to help others they way you are doing. God bless you and your family! You are a perfect example of what M.S. can look like. Debby 07-05-31 17:55:53 __________________________________________________
