The National Multiple
Sclerosis Society is a collective of passionate individuals
who want to do something
about multiple sclerosis now.
Founded in 1946 the
National MS Society has 50
affiliate Chapters nationwide, including Wisconsin.
Research is at the forefront
of the National MS Society’s
initiatives. In fact, the

More than 10,000
Wisconsinites – that’s one
out of every 500 residents –
have been diagnosed with
MS, giving our state one
of the highest incidence

Moving” campaign.
more MS research worldwide
than any other nonprofit
organization. It is also one of
the largest nonprofit funders
of research in Wisconsin.
MS stops people from
moving. The Society exists to
make sure it doesn’t. By driving change through advocacy,
facilitating professional education, providing programs and
services, and collaborating
with MS organizations around
the world, the National MS
Society will achieve a world
free of MS.
About the Wisconsin Chapter
Headquartered in
Hartland, the Wisconsin
Chapter proudly serves
more than 10,000 residents
diagnosed with multiple
sclerosis and those who love
and care for them.
P R O M I S E S
Dear Friends,
K E P T
When we joined National Multiple Sclerosis Society chapters from across the country five
years ago to commit to Promise: 2010, the initiative’s namesake seemed a long way off.
Now here we are, looking back at the year and what it symbolizes in our ongoing efforts
to create a world free of multiple sclerosis. What we see is encouraging and
reassuring: faster diagnosis times, seven treatment options including the first oral
medication and a multitude of research in the pipeline.
The Wisconsin Chapter raised $2 million to fulfill its commitment to the Promise:
2010 campaign, which targeted four areas of MS research: Nervous System Repair
and Protection, Pediatric MS Centers of Excellence, the Sonia Slifka Longitudinal MS
Study and the MS Lesion Project. While that money supported international research
(including studies based in Wisconsin), closer to home we continued to come through on
promises to address the challenges of those affected by MS and mobilize those dedicated to fighting this disease.
You’ll read about those efforts on the following pages, where we share a few stories of
personal promises that have impacted the Wisconsin Chapter and celebrate some of the
incredible highlights from the year, including the additional $45,000 in financial assistance we were able to provide to Wisconsin Chapter clients, and the 2,000 new walkers
and three cities that joined the annual Walk MS.
Of course, our work is not done. We pledge to keep driving research for a cure and
helping those living with MS. While our ultimate goal has not yet been accomplished,
it’s within reach.

Kassie McManus decided
2010 would be the year she
competed in the Waikiki
Roughwater. In doing so,
she fulfilled a promise to
herself and made the most of
her ability to help others.
PROGRESS REPORT 2010 | 4
n 2010, Kassie McManus was
able to call herself something
she had never been able to
call herself before: an endurance
athlete. After months of training,
the 56-year-old completed the
41st Annual Waikiki Roughwater
Swim, a 2.4-mile open water race
in the Pacific Ocean.
It’s nothing Kassie would have
imagined doing when she was
diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
in 1998. Activities like walking the
I
dog or taking the stairs had
become difficult, and she had to
give up her career as an attorney
as her strength deteriorated.
Knowing she needed to keep
herself busy or risk getting
depressed, she started volunteering at her church, at her local
YMCA and, although her three
children were grown, at the local
elementary and middle schools.
Having connected with the
National Multiple Sclerosis
Society-Wisconsin Chapter when
she was first diagnosed, Kassie
also began volunteering for
events and in support of initiatives like the MS tax check-off
donation program.
“Being involved has proved to
be much more beneficial to me
than I realized,” says Kassie, who is
now a member of the Wisconsin
Chapter’s Act 71 financial assistance committee, facilitates an
MS support group in Port
Washington and sits on the Port
Washington YMCA’s Board of
Directors.
Kassie took up swimming at
the Y when she began losing too
much strength and functionality
as her MS progressed to the secondary-progressive phase.“It got
to the point that the only thing I
could do easily was swim,” she
says.“The water is the one place
where I’m not awkward.”
Kassie completed her first
event, the Danskin Pleasant
Prairie Triathalon, in 2007 after
partnering with a friend who
could bike and run but didn’t like
to swim. The following year she
partnered with one of her sons
and a nephew to complete
Minnesota’s Green Lake
Triathlon. She began considering
the Roughwater after seeing a
smaller version of it during a
2009 trip to Hawaii, then made
the decision after listening to
members of an MS support
group outline their personal
goals for the next year.
“I realized,‘I have to do it now.’
I’m just one fall away from not
being able to do anything,” she
says.“I decided 2010 would be
the year.”
Of course, saying and doing
are two different things.
Considered a precursor to
today’s famous Ironman events,
the Roughwater requires that
participants complete the race in
less than two hours and 40 minutes. Even with nearly a year of
training and overcoming a childhood fear of the ocean, Kassie
wondered how she would fare.
She clocked in at 2:04:37.
“I would love to do it again if I
had the chance,” she says.“It was
really fun. It was really special.
And for a small period of time, I
was an endurance swimmer.”
Although completing the
Roughwater was something
Kassie accomplished for herself,
she used the opportunity to raise
nearly $5,000 for the National
MS Society, which she credits
with getting her onto a path
that has led to so many new
opportunities.“The Society
provides funding and support
for research that, if it doesn’t
help me, will help someone
else,” she explains.“That’s pretty
rewarding.”
2010 Research Highlight
Several studies sought to identify factors that may
contribute to disease progression. In one study,
researchers identified motor symptoms at onset and
male gender as characteristics associated with a
faster disease progression from relapsing-remitting
MS to secondary-progressive MS. These findings will
help researchers design studies and clinical trials on
MS progression.
Kassie was helped out of the water
by her son Sam (left) and friend
Dick Bowen after completing the
2010 Waikiki Roughwater Swim
in Hawaii.
“
The Society provides funding and support for research that, if it
doesn’t help me, will help someone else. That’s pretty rewarding.

DR. AARON FIELD
Dr. Aaron Field is using
cutting edge MRI technology
in the hopes of discovering
the cause of MS. He’s among
the eight Society funded
Wisconsin researchers leading
the way to a promising future.
PROGRESS REPORT 2010 | 6
n 2010, the National Multiple
Sclerosis Society and the
Multiple Sclerosis Society of
Canada funded three research
groups in the U.S. and four in
Canada with more than $2.4
million in grants to investigate
Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous
Insufficiency (CCSVI) and its connection to MS. Dr. Aaron Field,
associate professor in the
Department of Radiology at the
Wisconsin School of Medicine
I
and Public Health, received a
$586,436 grant as part of the
$2.4 million allocation.
Dr. Field’s research has
involved MS since 2002 when
he met Wisconsin MS researcher
Dr. Ian Duncan. His previous
research, which was part of Dr.
Duncan’s work on Promise:
2010, focused on quantitative
magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) for central nervous system
disease and repair. Intrigued by
CCSVI-related results reported
by Italy’s Dr. Paulo Zamboni, Dr.
Field says, “My first thought was
that this would be wonderful for
people with MS.”
CCSVI is an abnormality in
blood drainage from the brain
and spinal cord. In June 2009, Dr.
Zamboni, of the University of
Ferrara, reported that the abnormality causes changes in the
direction and velocity of blood
flow that could contribute to
nervous system damage in MS.
Dr. Zamboni used venography and ultrasound in his original study, techniques that Dr.
Field believes have limits.
Venography is an invasive procedure in which dye is injected
into the veins for an x-ray, and
ultrasounds can produce biased
information because the person performing the ultrasound
is also the person interpreting
data, he says.
To avoid possible bias, Dr.
Field used magnetic resonance
venography (MRV), a type of
MRI that images veins specifically. It makes it easy to do a
blind study, he says, because
the person who takes the
image will not interpret the
results.
“At UW-Madison, we are well
equipped with cutting edge
MRI technology,” Dr. Field
describes. “Our techniques are
really defined. It’s 3D imaging,
but it also includes a fourth
dimension: time. This includes
veins that can’t be seen in an
ultrasound.”
Dr. Field’s study also includes
ultrasounds to see if Dr.
Zamboni’s results can be
repeated. “We’re giving ourselves the best chance to duplicate Dr. Zamboni’s results,” Dr.
Field explains.
The study will run over a
two-year period, starting in
2011, and include 112 MS
patients, 56 people with other
neurological diseases and 56
people without those diseases.
Working with Dr. Field on the
CCSVI project is Dr. John
Fleming, also a Society-funded
researcher and a member of
the Wisconsin Chapter’s Clinical
Advisory Committee.
“First, we see if there is a
higher incidence of CCSVI in MS
patients,” Dr. Field says. “Then, to
go further, suppose there is an
association. Is CCSVI the cause
or effect? If it’s the cause, we
should see CCSVI about the
same in both newly diagnosed
patients and in chronic patients. If
we want to treat this, we need to
know that CCSVI is the cause of
MS.”
The Society is reporting
updates on the progress from the
seven studies every six months.
2010 Research Highlight
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the
Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada committed more
than $2.4 million to support seven studies on Chronic
Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) to
determine its role in the MS disease process. One
of these studies is led by Dr. Aaron Field at the
University of Wisconsin.

When 2010 looked to be a
challenging year for donations,
these Challenge Walk MS
veterans and Volunteers of the
Year fulfilled their fundraising
promise by taking a fresh
approach to reaching their goal.
PROGRESS REPORT 2010 | 8
ori Kolosowsky and Sally
Eubanks met through
mutual friends in the
early 1990s. Together they
were enjoying an active
lifestyle when Lori learned she
had multiple sclerosis in 1999.
Cindy LeBlanc was diagnosed eight years prior on the
same day her sister went into
labor. “I had to call and tell my
parents I had MS; she called
and told them they were
L
grandparents for the first time.”
Even though all three
women got involved with the
National Multiple Sclerosis
Society – Wisconsin Chapter
following the respective diagnoses, their paths didn’t cross
until the first Challenge Walk
MS in 2008.
“Little Cindy was standing in
the parking lot looking lost,”
recalls Lori, who had the distinction of being the very first
person to register for that first
Challenge Walk MS.
“Lori and Sally are two great
ladies who took me under their
wing,” says Cindy, who signed
up for the walk to commemorate her 40th birthday after
having skydived for her 30th.
“Our friendship grew from
there.”
The following year the three
friends returned as members
of the Super Crew, volunteer-
ing to host a rest area.
“We knew what it was like to
approach a rest stop and have
people cheering you on,”
Cindy recalls. “We still joke the
best peanut butter cups we
ever had were the ones we got
at one of the rest stops.”
Despite the fun they had,
the women missed being
among the walkers. They committed to returning to walk in
2010 before discovering that
raising money would be more
challenging. The economy had
taken a dive. Friends and family were struggling with their
personal finances. People didn’t have money to give. So the
women started picking up aluminum cans during their training walks, an idea that became
a full-blown collection drive
netting 1,600 pounds of cans
with a trade-in value of more
than $800. “Team: CanMS”
was born.
“It’s easier asking people for
their aluminum cans than
monetary donations,” says
Sally, adding that there was no
way they could have reached
their goal without the cans,
even with Emily Koss, a prior
Challenge Walk MS participant
who joined the team, donating
extra money she had raised.
The women admit their
efforts have led them into
some not-so-nice places like
littered roadsides, weedy
ditches and the occasional
garbage can. “We know it’s a
little embarrassing sometimes,
but we know what the end is,”
Sally says.
The end, of course, is the
cure for MS that someday will
be found. In the meantime,
both Cindy and Lori have seen
the results of past efforts.
“Yes, I have my bad days, but
I also know I can help others
who have bad days,” Cindy
says. “Yes, I have MS, but there
are so many things I’ve done,
so many things I can do, so
many people I have met and
can help because I have MS.”
“I promised myself I’m going
to keep doing as much as I
can because a lot of people I
know can’t,” Lori says. “I want
to do as much as I can to walk
for others.”
2010 Research Highlight
In September 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration approved Gilenya, the first oral
disease-modifying therapy for the treatment of
relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. The National
Multiple Sclerosis Society provided public testimony at an FDA advisory committee meeting in June
about the unmet need for more therapies for
people with MS.

In 2010 Luke Neumeyer
showed friends, family
and strangers the value
of keeping a promise to
those we love.
PROGRESS REPORT 2010 | 10
ill you please give one
quarter for Miss
Noelle? She has an
infection in her body. I want to
get 100 quarters for her. She’s
going to give the quarters to her
doctors so that they can help
her.” This was the message 6year-old Luke Neumeyer sent to
family and friends to help raise
money for the Fond du Lac Walk
MS on April 16. It would be the
first time he, his little sister and
“W
his parents took part in the
event — something the family
had decided to do on behalf of
Noelle Brandenburg, an Early
Childhood Aide at Luke’s school.
Noelle and Luke struck it off so
well when he was enrolled in the
school’s speech and language
program that their families grew
close over the years. Luke’s mom,
Corinne, began scrapbooking
and going to Starbuck’s with
Noelle, and Noelle took her hus-
band and children to watch
Luke’s soccer and t-ball games.
Luke’s parents had known for
some time that Noelle had
multiple sclerosis, but waited
until they knew they would take
part in the 2010 Walk MS to
explain it to Luke.
“We have never gone on a
walk together (with Noelle’s family) so we knew that he would
question us,” Corinne says. She
and Luke’s dad explained the
disease using Luke’s remote
control car as an example.
“We told Luke that the
remote has to send ‘messages’
through the wire to the car in
order to make it drive, just as
the brain sends ‘messages’
through the nervous system to
make our bodies work. If the
batteries do not work, or the
nerves become damaged, the
messages do not get sent. When
the messages don’t get sent, the
remote control car cannot drive,
and it could cause your body to
do funny things and could
make you sick.”
Luke decided to raise 100
quarters. His parents put together a letter to go with his note,
explaining the family’s commitment to the Walk MS. They figured they could count on family,
friends, and teachers and staff
from Luke’s school to help Luke
meet his goal, and were sur-
prised when complete strangers
began contributing. Some sent
notes of encouragement, telling
Luke how proud they were of
him, how lucky “Miss Noelle”
was to have him as a friend, and
how they hoped a cure for MS
would be found.
In total, Luke far exceeded his
goal by collecting 2,617 quarters totaling $654.25. He and his
family also made it through the
three-mile walk despite the
cold, wind and rain. They joined
the other members of Noelle’s
“Team Muzzy,” which has taken
part in the walk for the past five
years.
“They are a really awesome
family, and Luke is the kind of
kid you can joke around with
and he can tease back,” says
Noelle, who was diagnosed with
MS in 2007, three months after
her older sister passed away
from the disease.“I feel very
blessed to have friends that are
that dedicated; they really gave
it 150 pecent. It makes me feel
very good to have people like
them in my life.”
And what did Luke think of
his first Walk MS experience?
The complimentary doughnuts
were his favorite part and he
wants to do it again next year.
“But next time I want to bring
my bike,” he says,“so that it
doesn't take as long.”
2010 Research Highlight
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society invested
$36 million in grants to support more than 300
research projects in 2010. The Society’s funding
covers every stage of MS research, from discovery
research to commercial drug development efforts
through Fast Forward, a National MS Society
subsidiary devoted to bridging the gap between
research and drug therapies.
Luke Neumeyer collected 2,617
quarters to help his friend,“Miss
Noelle.” He and his family also
took part in Walk MS for the first
time in 2010.

Golden Circle is a program of the
National Multiple Sclerosis Society
created to recognize the significant
support of individuals who make a
personal annual gift of $1,000 or
more to move the mission forward.
Golden Circle members lead by
example in their dedication to the
cause, care and cure of MS.
Golden Circle members receive
unique benefits, including additional access to breaking research
news, invitations to research briefings and lab tours with internationally renown scientists, invitations to
exclusive local and national events
and the opportunity to connect
with other Golden Circle members
– people who share a unique passion for a world free of MS.
Golden Circle donors make a
powerful statement about their
commitment to finding a cure for
MS and to improving the lives of
those with MS. Contact Denise
Jendusa (denise.jendusa@nmss.org
or 262-369-7166) at the Wisconsin
Chapter for more information
about the benefits of Golden Circle
membership.
