After 15 years of community minded existence, a local group recently received their incorporate accreditation.
President of the group MS Talk, INC, Paula Nelson explains they started out as a small group to help individuals with multiple sclerosis, or MS, and thanks to success of their efforts, they recently took care of everything to be considered incorporated.
According to Nelson, the goal of their group is to help better the lives of those who have MS. She says they do this through providing gas cards for travel or by providing canes or wheelchairs.
For a small town, there seems to be a lot of people who have MS and Nelson says she can't pinpoint a reason for that. She also believes there are a lot more people in Clinton and DeWitt County that have MS but don't come out for their events and aren't a part of their group.
Nelson indicates they'd like to do more outreach for the community on healthy dieting and eating. This Saturday at the Warner Public Library, MS Talk, Inc. will be hosting a discussion with Karlie Lamar.
We'll have more on the event Friday on Regional Radio News.
