Newly diagnosed with MS?

Here's what one of our customers with MS has to say about body cooling: 

"I was diagnosed with MS in January, so this is my first summer dealing with the heat and humidity and it's been a challenge. It's all well and good to choose to stay indoors in the AC; it's another thing to have to. Needless to say, your products have made a huge difference so far..."

Pair of Kool Max® Wrist Wraps

"... I LOVE the wrist wraps! They have made the difference between my being able to go to the gym in warmer weather."

Who would YOU walk across the country for?

Your mother? Your spouse? How about a total stranger? Drew Blondeaux did.

Drew, a 23 year old Navy Veteran, began a 3,600 mile journey in March from Oceanside, CA to New York, NY for a woman he had never met. Liz Estes, now 21, was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 13 years old and recently, after having been declared as in remission and finding out she was pregnant with her second child, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Having never met Liz, Drew decided to take action for her and her family whose story had touched his heart. Sporting a T-Shirt reading "Walk For Liz" and pushing a cart of supplies, Drew Bordeaux has currently made it as far as Pittsburgh, PA in his efforts to raise money for this special family. Upon passing through northeast Ohio, the Akron Beacon Journal published an article on his journey (read here http://bit.ly/11C1a6V ) and this article was soon read by our President here at Polar, Bill. Touched by Drew's random act of kindness, Bill has offered to donate a cooling vest to Liz for her MS and Drew for his journey.

Drew's story is inspiring and reminds us of the importance of giving to others, even those you have never met. Pretty amazing huh?

News from the CMSC

At the beginning of this month, Polar's President, Bill Graessle, and Account Executive, Jil Deabler, exhibited at the annual meeting of the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Clinics in Orlando, Florida.

Bill and Jil representing Polar

The Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Clinics, or CMSC, is a non-profit organization for the education of healthcare providers and others affiliated with the MS community. The annual meeting is an opportunity for MS professionals to share new research studies and treatment strategies for managing MS.

Polar is proud of our commitment to the MS community and we attend the CMSC meeting every year. Jil and Bill had a great time meeting with many non-profit organizations to discuss our involvement with their programs and they appreciated every MSRN, neurologist and visitor who stopped by our booth to say hello! Jil was especially excited to see so many familiar friendly faces.

At the annual meeting we share our new products for the year and welcome feedback on existing products. We loved hearing how much our Kool Max® Ankle Wraps were appreciated by a fellow exhibitor with MS who struggled to keep her feet cool.

Many visitors to the booth remarked that our Kool Max® Neck and Upper Spine Wrap was a favorite of their clients'.

This event also marked the official launch of our pediatric cooling line: CoolKids™! There is increased awareness about pediatric MS, so we are excited to offer this new line of cooling vests and accessories designed specifically to help kids manage their heat sensitivity.

We introduced our new BEAT THE HEAT! pediatric cooling literature at the CMSC. Contact us to request free brochures for your MS clinic or support group.
