I just celebrated my six month anniversary with the National MS Society! Since I started in non-profit over 20 years ago I have admired, respected and followed the MS Society - because of the way they do their fundraising with Walks and Bikes - and other events, like Muckfest MS - but mainly because of the impact the MS Society makes with the fundraising dollars - research, services, advocacy - making a difference for those living with MS. In the past six months I have had the opportunity to experience it all! Our fundraising runs the gamut – Walk MS in April – Bike MS in May. On June 16 we had a sell-out crowd at Musical Moments at NJPAC with Aretha Franklin – raising over $1.4 million! On June 26 – I, along with 5,600 other participants – got dirty for MS – participating in MUCKFEST! Our fundraising efforts run the gamut and that’s appropriate because so does MS. At Muckfest I was in the mud side by side with individuals living with MS - but that’s not everyone’s MS experience. The week before I spent a Friday afternoon with 30 residents of north Jersey nursing homes who live with MS at our annual Nursing Home Luncheon. For some of these individuals it is their only day out of their facility for the entire year. MS affects everyone differently – and that’s why our research and services need to be broad, global and impactful. The last six months have proven to me that I was admiring and respecting the MS Society for all the right reasons and I look forward to continuing to work with all of you. Together we are stronger,

4 ARTS UNBOUND IS RECRUITING ARTISTS! Arts Unbound, a program for people living with disabilities who are interested in or currently pursuing a career as professional artists, is actively recruiting emerging artists with disabilities for their Artist Development Program. All the participants will be expected to commit to developing a career plan, participate in workshops and master classes, and learn how to approach galleries and retailers. Staff will conduct portfolio reviews, promote the participants’ work to galleries, boutiques, and other retailers; license works for reproduction; help artists build online portfolios; and host group art exhibits. If you are an artist interested in participating, contact Celene Ryan, Director of Artist Development at Arts Unbound at 973-675-2787 or cryan@artsunbound.org. You may send up to three examples of your best work, and please also share a little about yourself and your professional goals for the next year.

(CSA), made possible with a grant from the Kessler Foundation. Ten artists with disabilities receive a stipend and are asked to create 25 pieces of art for the program. Individuals and organizations purchase shares (25 are available) of the Art garden and receive 10 pieces of original art made by the disabled artists. You can find more information about Art Garden CSA on the web site www.artgardencsa.org.
MEET MARIA: PARTICIPATING ARTIST LIVING WITH MS Maria Mineo is one of the ten artists participating in the Art Garden CSA. Maria first learned about Arts Unbound last year when she read a quarterly issue of MS Connection and was inspired to revive and redeploy the skills that the burdens of MS had suppressed. “Pain and fatigue didn’t stand in the way—instead, it became the inspiration for my work. Instead of pushing away the chronic disease, I embraced it as a vehicle to visually

express my unique experience. I found out that I could transform my experience—something so personal—into a universal message. I use photographs, scanned images and my actual MRI’s to create photo etchings. I visually examine how the brain is a physical, tangible organ that is the home of the mind—a powerful intangible limitless entity. In the series Mind Over Matter, I question the many ways life can alter the mind—and how the mind has the ability to transcend limits to find a deeper, darker and even richer place to create.”
Painful Progression, a photo etching by Maria Mineo The National MS Society helps people like Maria Mineo learn about resources and opportunities in the community. Maria is grateful that through MS Connection she discovered Arts Unbound and was motivated once again to express herself in her art and share it with the world! n

HOME MODIFICATION STORY COLLECTION SURVEY Have you recently considered or taken steps to make your home more accessible? Were costs of the modification a hindrance or burden? Some states offer tax credits to help people with disabilities make their homes more accessible. In New Jersey and across the country, the National MS Society and MS activists are working to pass home modification tax credit legislation and your story can help with these efforts. Please complete a short anonymous survey about your experiences with home modifications, from this website: www.surveymonkey.com/r/PXHNGJ6. If you have any questions or concerns on the legislation or our efforts, please contact Mara Brough, Senior Advocacy Manager for New Jersey, at mara.brough@nmss.org or 267-765-5104. n

6 8 WAYS TO MANAGE AFTER LOSING YOUR JOB ADAPTED FROM STEVEN VISCUSI’S BOOK “HOW TO BULLET PROOF YOUR JOB.” Our last article focused on steps to take if you are afraid you might lose your job; but what can you do if you did actually lose your job? Whether you were laid off, fired, or even decided to leave a position on your own, the loss of a job can be overwhelming. To help ease you through the process we offer the following tips to assist you in moving forward. 1. Before you go, offer to your employer to work part time or per-diem as a consultant for needed projects. 2. Find out about your benefits and compensation options. Are you entitled to severance? Try to negotiate a package including paid medical costs for several months. 3. Don’t burn bridges! Be sure to take with you written references from supervisors, copies of past performance evaluations, any letters and/or e-mails from clients expressing positive feedback and a copy of your job description. 4. Once you have left, register with unemployment and your local OneStop office. Also, register with your local Vocational Rehabilitation office for possible training in another field or assistance with placement. 5. Enroll at temporary agencies to get work
MS CONNECTION: SUMMER 2016
on an as-needed basis. There may be jobs available that are not your ideal but they can get you through tough financial times. Also, it’s important to remember, you are always more marketable when you have a job than when you are unemployed. Keep your resume up to date! 6. Seek help if you are feeling down. Work is a large part of our identity. When someone has just been through a layoff, loss of this identity along with loss of income can cause some people to lose hope. The MS Society can connect you with counselors that you can talk to and help you through this difficult time. 7. Join a work support group. There is strength in numbers. Sometimes knowing you’re not alone and talking to others experiencing the same frustrations you are facing can give you the necessary support to help get you through this difficult time. There are groups out there that meet who are actively seeking employment. The group can provide support and job leads to members who have recently become unemployed. You can also check with your local MS chapter for a listing of MS support groups in your area. 8. Remember, whether or not you lose your job, being able to deal with any challenges that you encounter now will increase your self-confidence and help you face the next challenge, whatever it may be. If you have an employment question you would like answered, such as workplace disclosure, social security benefits, reasonable accommodations, or if you are thinking about returning to work and not sure where to start, we can help. Feel free to pose your questions directly to this email address:

8 2016 PUBLIC POLICY CONFERENCE At this year’s annual meeting of the National MS Society’s Public Policy Conference (PPC) in Washington, DC, two dedicated NJ Metro volunteer activists (Tammy Quasius and her son Jacob, pictured below) joined the advocacy staff of the PPC for two days of educational programming and one day on Capitol Hill.
Activists learned from experts about our federal advocacy priorities and how to effectively share their stories with lawmakers. On Wednesday, March 16, 340 MS activists went to Capitol Hill and met with staff in nearly 400 congressional offices. MS activists asked for additional funding for MS research. We, the National MS Society advocacy staff and volunteer activists, asked Congress to provide $34.5 million for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the country’s premier medical research institution, in fiscal year 2017. We asked Congress for $10 million for FY 2017 for MS Congressional Directed Medical Research Programs (CDRMP), a program that funds

important and innovative research, different from and complementary to that of NIH. The last national study of incidence and prevalence of MS was done in 1975. Outdated data has made it difficult for scientists to determine if there are environmental triggers that influence the onset of MS. We asked our members of Congress to cosponsor and pass the Advancing Research for Neurological Conditions Act (H.R. 292/S. 849). This bill would create a centralized data collection system at the Centers for Disease Control to track prevalence and incidence data for people diagnosed with neurological conditions, including MS. The bill currently has broad bipartisan support, with around 35% of both the House and Senate signed on as cosponsors. The House included H.R. 292 in its 21st Century Cures Act, which passed the House in July 2015. The Senate Health Education Labor ad Pensions Committee unanimously approved S. 849 in February 2016. We will continue to advocate for this bill until its passage. Between 2004 and 2015, the average price of MS disease-modifying therapies increased 300%. We asked our members of Congress to request a hearing that focuses on the accessibility and affordability of medication from the perspective of the MS patient, emphasizing that it is important to listen to the voices of patients, so that together we can provide people with MS with the treatment they need.

10 WHY DO SOME PEOPLE WITH MS FALL?
A common effect of MS is impaired mobility including difficulty walking. Because of mobility challenges and other symptoms, people with MS may be at significant risk for falls and the potentially life-changing consequences of fall-related injuries. Studies have shown that approximately half of middle-aged and older individuals with MS experience at least one fall over a six-month period. Various physical symptoms place people with MS at risk of falling, but there are psychological risks as well. As MS changes over time and walking becomes more difficult, you may find that you resist accepting help. Being able to walk confidently and independently is important, so the idea of losing that independence may be frightening. Tools and tips that can prevent future falls will help to keep you more independent rather than take your independence away‌ being receptive to them is half the battle. The National MS Society (NMSS) addresses the issue of falls through a publication titled, Minimizing Your Risk of Falls, A Guide for People with MS. This publication can be downloaded from the NMSS website at: http://www. nationalmssociety.org/NationalMSSociety/ m e d i a / M S Na t i o n a l F i l e s / B r o c h u re s / Brochure-Minimizing-Your-Risk-of-Falls. pdf. In addition, The NJ Metro Chapter has compiled a list of programs throughout NJ that address falls prevention - most of these programs are associated with hospitals. To

A LETTER TO SCHOLARSHIP DONORS It is with eyes full of tears and a heart full of gratitude that I write this letter. I am a 35-year-old mom of two children, Jason and Jocelyn. When they were born, I was working while pursuing a degree in business administration. However, when my youngest was about six months old, I was taking her for a walk when my legs began to feel heavy and I fell. I began a two-year journey of testing and seeing specialists, with no answers until I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2012. I knew my children were growing up. They were so full of life and I felt like my life was being sucked from me one nerve cell at a time.
from home that might possibly be a charity for people with disabilities due to autoimmune disease. So when I opened the letter yesterday saying I had been awarded a scholarship from the National MS Society, I nearly fell to the floor (and not because of a relapse!). If paper could talk, you would hear my screams of happiness. I want to share with my children that there are still amazing people in this world and that their mom just encountered some of that greatness. I have such joy and hope in my heart right now because getting my degree was something I didn’t think was possible and now, because of you, it is possible. With the biggest heart, I thank you.
- Sydonnie McMillian 2016 Scholarship Recipient n
SCHOLARSHIP RECEPTION
I continued with school, but I could not work anymore. Then, even with Social Security Disability Insurance, I could no longer afford school. My financial aid and loans had run out and, as I wasn’t working, my credit was not good enough to secure a private loan. My school could only offer a payment plan. I convinced myself that I didn’t need a degree because my life was now going to be centered around MS. But I knew in my heart that I wanted that degree, and that I wanted to start a business

ABefore MUCKY GREAT TIME! the event, New Jersey was voted Best Mud in America. On June 25th-26th at MuckFest® MS
New Jersey, we proved it! With the best mucking weather imaginable, over 5,600 muckers and their teams from across the Northeast region converged on West Orange and made the 2016 event the BIGGEST MuckFest MS New Jersey EVER! To date, $536,000 has been raised. There was love at the finish line with a muddy marriage proposal. There were epic spills and acrobatic thrills. We saw fantastic teams and “Mermicorns” and other mythical mud creatures, who emerged from the new orange changing pods transformed and ready to hoist their Traveler Beers at McCloone’s Boathouse. Well done, muckers, and thank you! Sincere thanks for the enthusiastic support (and awesome dance moves) from the dedicated crew of over 250 volunteers. Big thanks to our Local Presenting Sponsor, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, who again this year made a muscular showing with over 200 muckers. Special thanks to our additional local sponsors including: Nomura, Genzyme, TEVA, FED EX, Jake’s Candy, Biogen, JAG Physical Therapy, and ACE RX Specialty & Compounding. Thanks also to Essex County South Mountain Reservation for being such an awesome event host.
