The Bow Tie Project
by Robert J. Biggins, Former NFDA President
Sometimes life throws us obstacles that feel insurmountable. But with quiet reflection we can overcome and reach new heights.
The Bow Tie project began at Faulkner Hospital in Boston, from the vision of the talented medical team of Steve Drewniak, Larry Starr and Paul Rizzolli. In 2004, my dear wife Chris was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. These physicians always carry a quiet patience and determination even as they broke the news to us.Paul Rizzoli, Chris’ neurologist, sports a bow tie daily as he cares for patients.On one of our visits to him I casually commented on his tie. To my surprise, a week later a catalogue with a selection of bow ties and a “how to” manual on mastering this accessory arrived just for me!
Picture the fumbling and bumbling as I attempted to learn this art and incorporate it in my wardrobe. It was during one of these attempts I had an epiphany. I was trying to teach myself to physically do something different, to re-learn how to accomplish a movement to complete a task.
Looking at my disheveled attempt at a bow tie, I suddenly realized this was nothing compared to what Chris was facing on a daily basis to meet change in her physical, mental and emotional circumstances from her diagnosis of MS. After quiet reflection, I wiped my now tear stained eyes and proceeded to make that bow and to wear it in her honor.
Many folks now comment on my new “fashion statement”. Some with amusement, some with wonder and others with disdain. But they comment!
This is why I decided to start this initiative. Now when someone comments on my bow tie, I present a card with a link to The Bow Tie Project website. There they can visit links on the MS society to read more about this dreaded disease and how to help find a cure.
If you would like join my project, visit my favorite bow tie website www.beautiesltd.com and pick out a new tie. As you wear it, pass on the word about MS. Together maybe we can find a cure. Read More.

I am very glad I came across this post and stopped to read it from beginning to end, as it left on a very positive note. I was in the beginning of my own journey with MS and the depression it’s was giving me was unbearable , I found some encouragement from several blogs and last year in seeing Rochelle make her personal goals after overcoming the disease with natural medicine I have to tried it also .I’ve kind of resigned to the fact that this is how life will be for me back until I found herbs that stop this multiple sclerosis easily and relief all the Fatigue and other symptoms I was experiencing ,I’m passing this info to anyone at there because ww w .multivitamincare .org has the right cure and caregiver to this disease ….I took various supplements, medicine prescribed by neurologist,massage and physiotherapy still the disease is was progressing very fast until the the MS formula from that caregiver .
After my Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, my primary care provider introduced me to RichHerbs Foundation and their MS Formula protocol, the herbal treatment has made a tremendous difference for me. My symptoms including numbness and muscle weakness all disappeared after the treatment plan! Their website is w w w. richherbsfoundation. c o m.

An MRI scan in August of 2014 verified that I had Multiple Sclerosis. I was on Capaxone for months, i was extremely weak, i was barely able to walk. A family friend told us about Mayaka Natural Clinic and their successful MS Herbal treatments, we visited their website w w w. mayakanaturalclinic. c o m and ordered their ms herbal treatment, i am happy to report this treatment effectively reversed my Multiple Sclerosis and symptoms. The treatment reversed my balance issues. I am back on my feet again. My activity level is really up.
I stopped all the Multiple sclerosis medicines prescribed due to severe side effects, and decided to go on natural herbal approach. My primary care provider introduced me to Kykuyu Health Clinic and i immediately started on their Multiple Sclerosis herbal formula treatment, this herbal treatment has made a tremendous difference for me. My symptoms including shaking, muscle weakness, fatigue, mood swings, numbness, double vision and urinary retention all disappeared after the 4 months treatment! Their website is w w w. kykuyuhealthclinic. c o m. Its just amazing!
After an MRI i was diagnosed of MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. After years on medications, symptoms worsened with tremors on my right hand, numbness and tingling, muscle weakness and loss of speech. Fortunately last year, i learnt about Health Herbs Clinic and their Multiple Sclerosis alternative treatment ( ww w. healthherbsclinic. com ), the Multiple Sclerosis treatment made a great difference, most of my symptoms including tremors, weakness and others gradually disappeared. I improved greatly over the 6 months treatment, its been a years since the treatment, i have no symptoms. I have a very good quality of life and a supportive family!
