“Two of my close friends suffer from the debilitating effects of multiple sclerosis,” says Luciani, a former resident of Woodbridge, Conn. “Currently there is no cure for MS, but with funds raised through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, it provides hope that scientist will find a cure and no one will ever have to experience the effects of this disease again.”
