Personal Life and Health

• Difficulty with walking, often appearing unsteady or "drunk"
• Challenges with stairs, requiring handrails for support
• Fatigue
• Other invisible symptoms that affect him daily

Despite these challenges, Robert remains active in raising awareness and funds for MS research and support.

Robert is a dedicated advocate for MS research and support. He has participated in the Walk MS fundraiser for many years, raising over $150,000 for the National MS Society.1 His commitment to this cause is evident in his annual participation and fundraising efforts.

Recent Developments

Robert has recently experienced some positive developments in managing his condition:

1. He received an expensive custom-made foot brace, covered by insurance.
2. He attends physical therapy twice a week.
3. He obtained a special parking permit for disabled drivers in New York City, which greatly improves his mobility and access.1

Despite being on full-time disability for the past two years, Robert maintains a positive outlook and continues to adapt to his changing circumstances. His story serves as an inspiration to others living with MS and demonstrates the importance of ongoing research and support for those affected by the condition.
