Josie & Joe in Tandem vs. Multiple Sclerosis
Six months ago, Josie was bedridden with a flare-up of the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) she's been battling for the past decade, alongside her husband, Joe, and some help from their much loved custom tandem bike. Over that same period, Josie and Joe have logged over 10,000 miles and raised $100,000 for research into MS, a disorder where the immune system attacks the nervous system.
But would her latest flare-up permanently sideline this avid cycling couple?
“When this happened, I could not move a muscle,” recalls Josie.
“And when you were flat on your back and said you wanted to bike again,” recalls Joe, “I was skeptical… but hopeful.”
Six months later, we cycled next to their tandem bike and heard about that uphill journey back from her flare-up, along with the ups and downs since our first interview at the National MS Society Bike Maine Getaway in 2019.
Expert commentary is provided from Dr. Mary A. O’Neal, Director of the Women’s Neurology Program at Brigham & Women’s Hospital (Boston), and Dr. Jacob Meyer of Iowa State, both suggesting we broaden our understanding of the benefits of physical activity to include improved mood and motivation.
Listen in for an informative, inspiring story of perseverance and teamwork against the steep challenge of MS.
