To Russia with faith; New Enterprise woman seeks medical procedure abroad with hopes it will halt her multiple sclerosis

NEW ENTERPRISE - Brooke Slick loves a project. Her latest one just happens to hold her life in its balance.

Hanging on the living room wall inside the New Enterprise home she shares with her husband, Doug, is a prayer reading, "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference."

In 2006, Slick was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Others might take such a diagnosis as a reason to call on serenity and acceptance. Slick is calling on courage.

Interesting response from the NMSS's chief medical research Dr. Although I understand the caution, I guess I would have expected something a little more positive considering the Society's vision of "A World Free of MS".
