A 47-year-old mother who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2004 is working to raise awareness of the disease and has partnered with a local golf tournament to raise funds for two causes.
COPLEY TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Across the United States, about 1 million people are living with multiple sclerosis.
"There's no cure for MS, so I just take it day by day, one day at a time," said Donella Brooks-Gachett. Brooks-Gachett launched a foundation called "This Is What MS Looks Looks Like" to empower those facing MS and to provide money for people facing financial challenges or insurance hurdles. As a kid, Brooks-Gachett loved playing golf with her dad. Although she can no longer play, her passion for the sport inspired her to start a charity golf tournament.The outing goes beyond fundraising for her foundation. It also honors the memory of 19-year-old Eddie Lee.Eddie was a standout sprinter at Copley High School who graduated in 2020.
