Multiple Sclerosis
How you can help
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic often disabling disease of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord and optic nerves). It stops communication within the brain and the brain with the rest of the body. Symptoms may be mild including numbness and tingling, or severe such as blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and can vary from one person to another. There is no cure for MS and only eight FDA-approved therapies exist for people with MS.
The Utah-Southern Idaho Chapter supports people living with MS move their lives forward with a mix of programs and services providing direct assistance including educational programs, physical wellness programs, financial assistance, family support, care management, and scholarships. Funds raised also support critical research to stop MS, restore what has been lost and to one day end MS forever.
Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with 2.1 million people worldwide and more than 400,000 Americans. Most people are diagnosed at the peak of their careers and life plans – between the ages of 20-50 years – old but more and more children are being diagnosed. There are more than 10,000 documented pediatric cases and the number is growing.
MS in our Area
Utah has one of the highest incidence rates in the country with 1 in 300 affected. While it is not known what causes MS, it is attributed to a combination of environmental and genetic factors, occurring more frequently among people of northern European ancestry, and in higher latitudes north of the equator. Two attributes common to the state. However, nearly every ethnic group is affected.
The National MS Society MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn’t. We help each person address the challenges of living with MS. Last year alone, through our national office and 50-state network of chapters, we devoted $164 million to programs that enhanced more than one million lives. To move us closer to a world free of MS, the Society also invested $40 million to support more than 325 new and ongoing research projects around the world. We are people who want to do something about MS now. Give what you know at www.MSconnection.org. The Utah-Southern Idaho Chapter, based in Salt Lake City with an office in Boise, Idaho, spans a diverse urban and rural territory serving more than 46,000 people impacted by multiple sclerosis. Learn more at cureMSutah.org and follow us at facebook.com/MSutahIdaho.

Gene Fullmer Sports Professional of the Year
Gene Fullmer received his first pair of boxing gloves when he was six years old. By the time he was eight, Gene was standing on a table punching a training bag bigger than him. At 12 years old, Gene was fighting amateur bouts against 16 year olds in his hometown of Jordon. He may have been the best-conditioned boxer who ever entered the ring with a daily regimen of running 3-5 miles, working out at the gym, doing his daily farm chores and working full time at the Kennecott Copper Mine. Gene turned pro when he was 20 years old and won his first 29 fights, 19 by knockout with 11 of those in the first round. Between 1957 and 1963, he fought 13 times for the middleweight championship of the world. On January 2, 1957, Gene pounded Sugar Ray Robinson for 15 rounds in Madison Square Garden to claim his first world championship. Four months later, he lost the title back to Robinson but regained it when he beat Carmen Basilio in a savage 14 round duel. Gene retired from boxing in 1964 with a record of 55 wins-24 by knockout, six losses and three draws. Gene has four children, two stepchildren, 11 grandchildren and eight greatgrandchildren.

Ryan Ren Living with Hope
Ryan Ren has lived with MS his whole life. His father, Robert Ren, Jr., was diagnosed with MS shortly before Ryan was born so he grew up experiencing the challenging effects that MS can have on one’s life and family. Ryan’s father passed away from complications of MS in 1999 after a valiant 25 year battle with the disease. A little over a decade later, Ryan was surprised to also be diagnosed with MS at the age of 34. Over the years, Ryan has tirelessly worked to raise awareness about the disease within the community by sharing his story, his positive approach to life and by encouraging others to get involved. He and his office created the Bike MS team Wasatch Advisors-Ren’s Riders and have participated in the ride the last three years. As a Bike MS Top 5 individual fundraiser in 2010 and 2011, Ryan was recognized by having MS Society scholarships named in his honor for students whose lives have been affected by MS. Ryan and his wife, Sonia, are the proud parents of four active children between the ages of two and seven.

Team of the Year
Baseball Team Utah Valley University
The Utah Valley University baseball team’s 2012 season was highlighted by a 32-game winning streak and the University’s first-ever national ranking. The program made national headlines when the Wolverines didn’t suffer a loss for nearly two months, coming just two wins shy of matching the NCAA record for consecutive wins, a feat that hadn’t been accomplished since 1999. Coach Eric Madsen’s club also entered the national rankings for the first time on May 7 and stayed there for the rest of the season after going undefeated in the Great West Conference – a perfect 28-0 – which included a victory over four-time national champions, University of Arizona. The team also won its third straight conference regular season and tournament titles. Their conference tournament win was No. 47 on the season for the 27th-ranked Wolverines, who won 40 of their last 41 games and 45 of 49 by season’s end. UVU player Billy Burgess was named Conference Tournament MVP, while Goose Kallunki led the nation in RBIs, earned firstteam All-America honors and was one of three finalists for the Dick Howser Trophy, the Heisman Trophy of college baseball.

Bill & Bernice Stromberg T.K. McCarthey Silver Hope Award
Bill Stromberg graduated from Ogden High School in 1943 and attended the Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical School in California before beginning a distinguished civilian career at Hill Air Force Base.

While employed at HAFB, Bill traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia until he retired in 1977. He also launched a parallel career in 1958 as a land developer with one of his early projects being the “College Heights” area in Ogden. Though neither Bill nor Bernice graduated from college because of the Depression, they recognized the value of pursuing an education and have been avid supporters of Weber State University throughout the years. In 2000, Bill was awarded an Honorary Degree of Humanities for his involvement with the college. Their generosity is evident throughout campus with the C. William Stromberg Center for Health Promotion and Human Performance, the C. William and Bernice C. Stromberg Athletic Office Complex and the C. William and Bernice C. Stromberg Strength Training Facility. They are the proud parents of six wonderful children, 26 grandchildren and 34 greatgrandchildren. Their six children embraced the importance of education taught to them by their parents by earning 11 degrees-six at the graduate level, and their grandchildren are following in those footsteps. Giving back to their community is important to Bill and Bernice and they have been involved in many other important philanthropic projects in the Ogden community. Bill served as a trustee for the Stewart Education Foundation for many years before his passing in 2010. Bernice has served on the South High Alumni Association Board of Trustees as chair of the Scholarship Committee. During her tenure, many South High alumni, their children, and grandchildren have been awarded scholarships to pursue their aspirations of a higher education.
