My name is Linda, and I have Multiple Sclerosis.  My first attack was 25 years ago but diagnosis was 7 years later, when they could definitely pin down what it was.  It started with vision issues, numbness and tingling, weakness and cognitive issues.  Over the years with further relapses I have developed a strong heat sensitivity and both weakness on my right side, and balance issues.  I also have developed autonomic nervous system issues which cause me to have momentary drops in blood pressure and bouts of dizziness as well as momentary blackout.  I can walk about 2 blocks but at that point I have to sit down, so I have to take something with me to sit down on, or only walk a block so I can get back to my house.  When I saw the Alinker Walk Bike I thought this would be the device for me.  I have become pretty home bound as I can’t do a lot of the things I like to do such as visit craft fairs or car shows in the summers, go to sports events because I am a hockey, football and baseball fan. I have also stopped doing the MS Walks to help raise money for an organization that does a lot for people with MS because I can no longer do the physical walk.  I have had to give up those things but this device could be the difference maker I have wanted to find.  Thank you for supporting me in trying to get this walk bike.
