Hi everyone! I don’t usually ask for much from you
guys, but this matter is very close to my heart….
My best friend’s mother suffers from Multiple System Atrophy.
Multiple-system atrophy (MSA) is a degenerative neurological
disorder. MSA is associated with the degeneration of
nerve cells in specific areas of the brain. This cell degeneration causes
problems with movement, balance, and other autonomic functions of the body such
as bladder control or blood-pressure regulation.
Her own
General Practitioner (GP) hadn’t even heard of MSA before she was diagnosed,
nor have many other medical professionals. It’s very unusual to come across
someone who has it, has heard of it or is familiar with it. This disorder is
life altering and has left my friends family scratching their heads – because there
is no cure.
Below is a quick, 5
minute video about MSA. This video is currently up for nomination for fan
favourite at the Neuro Film Festival. The MSA community, and those willing to
help, can vote for this video TODAY.
If this video wins, it
will be screened and highlighted at the American Academy
You will have to
register to vote, I know – it seems like a pain, but imagine living with MSA
daily? Taking this 5 minutes to register and vote is the easiest way you can
help those suffering daily with MSA.
