CTV: Annette Funicello: Her life with multiple sclerosis

[Barbossa]

Hopefully all Micechatters can watch this, concerning someone from the Disney community.

CTV's W5 did this story on Annette recently. It's pretty hard to watch:
Annette Funicello: Her life with multiple sclerosis
The link for part 2 is on the right of the page.

Quite a heartbreaking, but eye-opening story. Hopefully there will be a cure for this dilapidating disease.

Hopefully you guys stateside can watch the vid clips. It may be limited to Canada.

Thought I'd bump this thread as I think it is important to watch for any of you that knows anyone with MS, or are an Annette/Mickey Mouse Club fan.

Also, I took a look at Annette's website. In the news section it says if you order Babes In Toyland on Blu-Ray thru her site via Amazon, a portion of the proceeds will benefit The Annette Funicello Research Fund for Neurological Diseases. Here's the link to the news page, and click ont he Blu-Ray cover of Babes:
