"This has been devastating for our families," says King adding that hope AMA has come to theta with the news that their sister is a candidate for CCSVI (Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency) surgery that, at this point, would be available to her only in New York State. "'Phis surgery has shown great results in allowing MS patients the ability to regain some of their independence and quality of life. O}11P does not cover any of the costs for this proce- dure so at this time we find it neces- sary to do an aggressive fundraiser. Estimated costs at this time would be around $10,000.00:' Arlie says her arms are getting extremely weaker and she need to - use lifts to get in and out of bed or into her electric wheelchair. "I heard about I)r, Paolo 'lambonl discovery culled Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI), a reported abnormality in blood drainage from the brain and spinal coni, which may contribute to nerv- ous system damage in MS and there have been positive results from this surgery." So, not to be deterred by the cost, this family has created a fundraiser for January 15thth at the Grand Bend Legion. Tickets are a mere $25.O0.
