My MS and E
Description
My MS and E is a children's picture book depicting a typical interaction between Kevin and his daughter, Eleanor. They share an unbreakable father-daughter bond, even in the face of his ongoing struggles with multiple sclerosis. There are two versions of this story. When the story was first written, Eleanor refused to read it with me unless there were pictures. The second version is the original picture board used to read this to my daughter at bedtime.

Person
Kevin was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 1999 while commanding a US Army Air Cavalry Troop overseas. Now medically retired, Kevin lives in Portland, Oregon, with his daughter, Rogue, devoting much of his time and energy towards overcoming the challenges of his own MS so that he may fight for others. Writing and blogging for the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National MS Society, and NEVER STOP NEVER QUIT expand his fundraising and advocacy in this fight.
"...fantastic stories, where I'm limited only by my imagination, not by the confines of this stupid disease."
