DASSEL-COKATO, MN – Ann Hoffke of Dassel, was diagnosed 10 years ago with multiple sclerosis, a debilitating disease that attacks the central nervous system. She explained how multiple sclerosis has affected her life physically and mentally, but that symptoms vary from person-to-person.
Although there is currently no cure for the disease, there is medicine that slows the progression of the disease, Hoffke said.
Though the disease prevents her from working full-time, Hoffke volunteers with the Minnesota chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, a non-profit organization that helps people affected with the disease and raises money for research.
