Warren often tells people “I was not born with this disease and I hope I do not
die with it”. Warren believes it is important that he donate his time to coordinate
events, like the Etobicoke Walk, to help raise funds so that a cure or vaccine for
MS can be found in his lifetime. Warren likes to compare MS to polio. Not too
long ago, millions of people were afflicted with this disease and many would die
from it. Today, polio has been eradicated. Warren says “Wouldn’t it be amazing
if the same could be said about MS 40 or 50 years from now?”
