A supporter of ours wrote a poem about myelin, to help spread the word about this v. important substance in our nervous system.
His poem:
You may will weep for hiselin or herelin
You may even weep for theirelin
But until it's yourelin
You truly can't fathom the loss of myelin.
We were thinking of imposing this poem on top of a black and white image of a MRI brain scan showing demyelination.
Are you willing to contribute your MRI scan to this project? We'll be creating t-shirts to raise money for our myelin repair research.
