The Month of Giving is here: Consider a gift that keeps on giving.
[Image]( WTOPâs November Month of Giving is in partnership with the National MS Society. Itâs a cause near and dear to our hearts because weâve witnessed our colleaguesâ diagnoses firsthand. We asked WTOP Senior Sports Reporter Dave Johnson to share his story. Dave Johnson's story is not unlike many others diagnosed with MS. We ask that during a month where we typically take time to reflect and give thanks, you consider a donation no matter the size! [Click here to make a donation today](!

With your support of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society my heart is now stronger than anything else in my body. I have gone from denial to defiance. Four years ago I did not make the connection at the time but, my brain and body were not connecting. Struggles to walk had to be a bad right knee. Weakness in my right hand, must be too much time on a computer. Ten MRIâs and a spinal tap later, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. How did I not know. It was my momâs disease. MS cut short her life at 43. MS I hate you. MS I donât like you in my brain and trying to bring my body down. I fall, I drop things, I claim victory when I button my shirt. Go ahead MS give me your best shot . I will win the battle my Mom lost because breakthroughs have given me a fighting chance.â Thank you, as always for your support!
