NOLS Grad Kate Milliken’s Counterpane

December 11, 2009

ImagesIn December 2006 video producer and NOLS Wilderness Course grad Kate Milliken was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. This surprising turn of events turned Kate’s personal and professional life inside out as she struggled with increasing physical disability and emotional adjustment.

Kate put her professional skills to work documenting her often wrenching Odyssey. The result is a series of roughly 1-minute video journals that together create a moving, funny, revealing and poignant tale of a vigorous woman’s challenging path. Please explore and share her inspiring work: http://katescounterpane.com/.

And finally, consider getting involved with the National MS Society— your time, skills, ideas or financial help can make a difference. See: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/.
