Rahul Ray, who has MS, is urging people to donate to Victoria Hospitals Foundation’s $11-million fundraising campaign for imaging equipment
He was 30 and an accomplished soccer player, and had been planning to do an Ironman triathlon.
Ray said his surprise diagnosis came on Dec. 18, 2006. He immediately began to try all of the various medications available to him, but none worked. The drug turned out to be effective, but also had the potential to worsen the effect of an MS-related virus that he had in his brain. “I get to be an active dad, I get to be a good husband,” he said, then added with a laugh: “Just for record, my wife doesn’t cut me any slack — I still do dishes.”
