Stress is a problem with multiple sclerosis and one way to deal with stressful thoughts and feeling is to listen to some soothing music. Anita Kruse takes the concept further in having the children with cancer write songs and record them, even in a spoken voice. This is a very hopeful message in this video. Enjoy.
