Jackie Waldman (Author)

Book Description

Series: Courage to Give | Publication Date: October 2003

In these pages, meet Alicia Conill, a physician with MS, who continued her practice for as long as she could and then founded a revolutionary course, the disability experience, geared to health care workers experiencing what it's like to live with a disability. Meet David L Lander, who played Squiggy on the hit TV show Laverne and Shirley. Now he's an ambassador for the National MS Society. The people and their stories are diverse. They have two things in common- they are people living with MS and they are people who are reaching out to the greater world around them. These men and women have found the courage to do old things in new ways and new things that improve the lives of those around them.

5.0 out of 5 stars 24 Inspiring Courageous Stories, November 12, 2003

This review is from: People with MS with the Courage to Give (Paperback)

Words cannot describe the impact this book had on me after reading it. Author Jackie Waldman has compiled twenty-four of the most inspiring and touching stories of people with MS, and the effect the disease has on both the person with MS and their families and friends.

I purchased this book because my husband Anthony Zaremba was one of the featured people in the book. As I read the profiles of the others, my emotions ran through a gambit of highs and lows. At times while reading the book, I filled the pages with my own teardrops, and often laughter, as I read of the fortitude and courage that the people in this book exemplify.

If you know of anyone with MS, or if you have MS, place this book on your "must read" list. Best of all, Jackie Waldman's proceeds from this book are being donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Thank you Jackie! I give this book five stars!!
