Horsemen help fight MS More than 50,000 members of Canada's racing industry are supporting the 1984 Race Against Multiple Sclerosis ( MS). Pro- ceeds will help fight multiple sclerosis, the most common neurological disease of young adults. Conic to the Race Against MS at the Goderich Raceway on Thursday, August 2. Help Canada's horsemen fight MS. Multiple sclerosis is a major national health problem. An estimated 35,000 Cana- dians suffer from MS and closely related disorders. You have probably heard about multiple sclerosis for years; you may ,even know someone with MS, but chances are, you don't really know much about it. Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the cen- tral nervous system, the brain, and spinal cord. What happens is that the 'insulation around the nerves a called the myelin sheath' breaks down, and nerve impulses to and from the brain are slowed down or even .;topped. This can had to speech difficulties, loss of coordination and balance, sight pro- blems, fatigue, and partial paralysis. It usually strikes young adults, between the ages of 20 and 40, during the prime fami- ly and career building years — when people are approaching the height of their poten- tial. MS is commonly characterized by a series of attacks during which new symptoms may appear, followed by remissions, when some or all of the symptoms disappear., Remis- sions may last from a few- weeks to many years before MS strikes again. Each attack may bring increasing disability, and some people go froni canes to crutches, to wheelchairs and occasionally become total- ly bedridden. The course of the disease in any individual isempletely unpredictable. The cause is unktrown. and there is no cure ... yet. But medical science 'is disc•overuos ,r,orr about MS each year.
