Here are a few images from a photo story I have been
working on this semester. Dan & Jennifer Digmann are, by far, two of
the most inspirational people I have ever met. Combined, the couple
has faced multiple sclerosis for over twenty years.

[Above] "Push me out the window," Dan Digmann said while encouraging his wife to stretch and push out her impaired legs on Nov. 24, 2009 in their Mount Pleasant bedroom. Jennifer no long has the ability to walk due to her secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis.
