MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY AWARENESS

Please help spread the awareness of Multiple System Atrophy, or MSA.

This disease is far too unknown and needs to be made more public. Not because I want people to see the horrors that this disease does, but because I want to help prevent human beings from going through this profound pain.

I came to know of this disease by City Councilor Frank Cervone, who has MSA. He has made me aware about this disease and has given me hope that even if you face death in the eye, it does not mean you are down for the count. You always have you keep fighting till the very last breath.

I will now go forth and help bring awareness to this disease and help battle MSA, and let me tell y'all something. I am not going to give up; I am not going down. This is personal.

You can learn more about MSA if you visit this website:

Tired, tired, tired….
Sleep, sweet peaceful sleep.
Oh come soon to my relief.
Try and sleep to keep the pain away.
I sleep through another day.
…Sleep and dreams, the easing of sorrow.
I wake and find it another tomorrow.
MSA, robbing me of a life.
Taking time away from my son and wife.
Tired of fighting the good fight.
Always sleeping day, sleepless night.
Feeling so alone, myself slipping away.
Time to wake up, face another day.
This is what it is like to have MSA.
Richard Weber, MSA patient
