Sherri used to sing and dance in musicals, act in commercials, model in fashion shows, work multiple jobs cheer-lead, ride her horse, lift weights and she obtained 3 college degrees. She was a very goal-oriented young lady with huge hopes and dreams. However, just as she set out to complete her Master’s Degree, she was stopped in her tracks by Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and Late-Chronic Lyme Disease. Although she was determined not to allow these illnesses stand in her way, she was unable to return to work or even care for her own daily needs. Once an extremely active, unbreakable person, Sherri now struggles just to do her therapies, go to doctor appointments or shower. In addition to MS and Lyme, she also now lives with Chemical Sensitivities and Traumatic Brain Injury. Sherri’s husband, Wayne, shared her story with friends and family through the internet, but was shocked to suddenly hear from people all over the world. Wayne quickly found out that Sherri was not alone in her battles with illness, losses and challenges with loved ones understanding. Inspired by Sherri’s life and the desire to help others, Wayne founded the Invisible Disabilities Association (IDA) which reaches around the globe to people like Sherri. IDA provides encouragement, education and support through pamphlets, booklets, videos, radio, seminars, events and an online social network.
