Learn the Importance

What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?

Multiple sclerosis is a disease that impacts the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves, which make up the central nervous system and controls everything we do. The exact cause of MS is unknown, but we do know that something triggers the immune system to attack the CNS. The resulting damage to myelin, the protective layer insulating wire-like nerve fibers, disrupts signals to and from the brain. This interruption of communication signals causes unpredictable symptoms such as numbness, tingling, mood changes, memory problems, pain, fatigue, blindness and/or paralysis. Everyone’s experience with MS is different and these losses may be temporary or long lasting.

The Man Behind the Vision

A Message from Clay Walker

“As someone who has lived with Multiple Sclerosis for several years, I decided to DO something about it. After being diagnosed in April of 1996 with Relapsing Remitting MS, the first thing that crossed my mind was, “exactly what is MS?” The truth is, not much is known about the cause of MS and there is currently not a “cure.”

For those out there who struggle day to day and live in the dark about what’s on the horizon, I felt a need to ask the hard questions directly to the leading researchers of Multiple Sclerosis.

Questions like, “Do we know if there is anything coming that will cure or stop this disease?” The answers I found were troubling to say the least. The Clay Walker Foundation is the non-profit charity organization I created to launch a diligent battle to not only get answers but to help find solutions for a multitude of struggles that MS patients go through on a regular basis. There is so much to do and so little time to get it done. This is why we are asking our community of MS patients, their families and their friends to join with us and Become Part of The Band as we march toward the ultimate goal of The Clay Walker Foundation, a CURE.”
