Mr House Finch

A cold front moved in last night bringing wind and rain.  There was one huge crash of thunder that woke me up at close to midnight and it was followed by a heavy downpour.  Thank goodness the rainfall amounts were not as bad as they had predicted.

After the sun had been out long enough (all morning) to burn most of the moisture off and to warm things up some, I took my iPad and sat outside and watched a few episodes of Father Brown.

Still working on getting Walk MS donations as the deadline is not until June 8th.  In 1946 the National Multiple Sclerosis Society was founded, and in 1947 the Society sponsored its first three research projects. Today its investment in innovative research exceeds $974 million, and with this investment they’ve:
Recruited more than 900 new MS researchers to the field
Provided early career support and funding to nearly every thought leader in MS research
Set standards in diagnosis, symptom management, pediatric MS, complementary and alternative medicine, rehabilitation research, clinical trial strategies and stem cell research
Established the MS field of nerve and myelin repair which resulted in trials for treatment
Drove research uncovering genes contributing to MS susceptibility and new treatment avenues
Paved the way for all existing therapies – none of which existed 20 years ago
