MS Won’t Stop This Work at Home Mom

Old Bridge, NJ, February 12, 2006 – Jacqueline Oddo’s life changed one day last year when she woke up feeling tingly all over. A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis came a few months later. Unwilling to give in to the incurable autoimmune disease that affects approximately 400,000 people, Oddo decided to start a home business. Just launched this month, www.TaylorsBabyLove.com offers exclusive gifts and décor perfect for baby. During MS Awareness Week, March 11-17, Oddo will donate 10% of proceeds from Taylor’s Baby Love to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Multiple Sclerosis is a debilitating neurological condition that typically strikes people, mostly women, in their 30s. Symptoms vary from person to person but usually include muscle weakness, difficulty walking and vision problems. Exacerbations in those with relapsing-remitting MS occur unpredictably causing nerve damage and advancing physical disability in most cases. Several injectable therapies are available that may reduce the frequency and the severity of MS relapses. To raise awareness about this condition, the National MS Society is sponsoring MS Awareness Week, March 11-17. For more information, visit www.nationalmssociety.com

Wednesday, March 14, during that week is designated the Day of Hope. People who have MS and their family members and friends are encouraged to wear red that day as a sign of support. On the homepage of www.TaylorsBabyLove.com, Oddo features several red clothing items next to the red MS ribbon in recognition of MS Awareness Week. “It’s my way of showing support for the MS Society as they lead the way in funding research to find treatments and ultimately a cure for MS,” proclaims Oddo.

Taylor’s Baby Love specializes in hand-painted nursery décor that can be personalized. They also sell personalized items such as hand-knitted blankets and embroidered burp clothes. New parents can find a wide selection of unique and hand-made items for baby at www.TaylorsBabyLove.com.
