About Multiple Sclerosis (MS):
MS is a chronic demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system affecting over 400,000 people in the US and 2 million individuals worldwide. MS often results in severe disability including inability to walk, impaired vision or in some cases blindness, cognitive dysfunction, bladder and bowl problems, extreme fatigue and other serious symptoms. Unfortunately, no one knows what causes MS, there is no known cure,and the treatments are modest at best.
This product holds a special place in my heart not only because I love dogs but because I had an aunt who died from complications of MS. Seeing her deteriorate slowly over 15 years was one of the most difficult things I have experienced, and I can only begin to imagine how awful the experience must have been for her. I fully support any initiative that supports MS research.
The calendar itself is absolutely fantastic. The pages are made of high quality and sturdy paper. I love the spiral binding and the calendar is definitely designed to last through the whole year. In addition to monthly calendar pages, there are heart-warming stories about some of the dogs featured in the calendar as well as pages in between each month to create a to-do list and keep important notes. I love the black and white photos and there is a really nice assortment of different kinds of dogs. There are fun quotes and astrological information for your dog!
Because of the high quality of the calendar and the fabulous cause, I give this calendar and project the Cake Mom Seal of Approval!
