2015 MS Walk is Saturday in Niles
CANFIELD — Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that damages the nerves in the spinal cord and brain, as well as the optic nerves.
That’s more than Lynne Pavlich knew when she was diagnosed with MS at 21, just three years after graduating from Cardinal Mooney High School in 1995.
“I didn’t know much about MS, and I didn’t want to know. I was afraid I was going to end up in a wheelchair,” said Lynne, who will be 38 on April 25.
Seventeen years later, she is a wife and mother and a full-time marketing specialist at Talmer Bank’s Howland office, where her husband, David, a 2001 Mooney graduate, works in the commercial credit department.
She and family and friends, known collectively as Team Pavlich, have participated in the annual Mahoning Valley Walk MS since its inception locally.
This year’s local Walk MS is Saturday at the Scrappers Stadium, 111 Eastwood Blvd., Niles. Check-in begins at 8 a.m. and the walk starts at 9 a.m.
