A children’s book about MS has been written by a group of people who met through social networking sites. William Khazaal from Seattle has written “The Children’s MS Book” with five other people with MS in order to educate children and raise awareness of the condition. Upon being diagnosed two years ago, William started researching MS and found that many people don’t really know what it is, or how it affects people. Money raised from sales of the book will go to various societies, including the National MS Society in the USA, and the CCSVI Alliance. They are hoping to raise $100,000 by selling 10,000 copies of the book. Read William’s inspirational story, or purchase the book “The MS Children’s book” at http://www.mschildrensbook.com/ Tweet…
