The 4th Annual Candlelight Gala, hosted by the Lombardi Family and Cure MS Foundation of NY, promises to be a memorable event. You will be inspired and touched by Jason DaSilva, our person of honor. “In 2005, 26 year-old Jason DaSilva was on vacation at the beach with family when, suddenly, he fell down. He couldn’t get back up. His legs had stopped working; his disease could no longer be ignored. Just a few months earlier, doctors had told him that he had multiple sclerosis, which could

lead to loss of vision and muscle control, as well as a myriad of other complications. Jason tried exercise to help cope, but the problem only worsened. After his dispiriting fall on the beach, he turned to his Mom, who reminded him that, despite his disease, he was still a fortunate kid who had the opportunity to pursue the things he loved most; art and filmmaking. Jason picked up the camera, turned it on his declining body, and set out on a worldwide journey in search of healing, self-discovery, and love”. This is an excerpt from Jason’s website. His documentary “When I Walk” was recently featured at Sundance Film Festival. The Lombardi Family is committed to finding treatments and cures for Multiple Sclerosis and we are proud supporters of the Multiple Sclerosis Comprehensive Care Center at Stony Brook Medicine. Stony Brook Medicine is a world class teaching hospital where the science behind the MRI was discovered and where clinical research studies are conducted. This past year proved to be very monumental for our Foundation. With your help, we can continue to raise money for a ground breaking study to be conducted in collaboration with Hyperbaric Medical Solutions. This study has just received IRB approval, and will prove to be very promising in the future treatment of Multiple Sclerosis and the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. It is through your generosity that this is possible.

Last year we raised in excess of $100,000 and we hope to exceed that this year. This can only be done with your help. We hope you will partner with the Lombardi Family in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. We are truly grateful for your support. Sincerely, Filomena Lombardi, CPA Executive Director, Cure Multiple Sclerosis Foundation of New York, Inc. CFO, Lombardi Management Corp. And a person living with Multiple Sclerosis

I love New York. When I was younger, the city was my playground. You could find me on any given weekend catching brunch with a friend at a café, going to an East Village restaurant for dinner, and then hopping the subway, headed to a nightclub in Chelsea. But at age 25, I was told I had multiple sclerosis, and I saw my freedoms slowly vanish. All of a sudden, I found myself using a walker—now, a motorized chair—and planning daily activities with precise schedules and strategies for getting from one place to another, trying to main-tain some semblance of the spontaneous city life I loved to live.

I wanted to capture this transformative experience—becoming disabled—in WHEN I WALK because I hadn’t seen it

done before, and people need to see how a degenerative disease impacts the lives of those living with it. The first scene in the film is of me on the beach with my family. I brought my camera along to film the get-together, but the footage we captured meant more than I could have imagined: I fell down, and couldn’t get back up. It was the very first time my MS made something in my life go completely awry, made itself visible and impossible to ignore. What was supposed to be a nice family vacation turned into the inciting incident. Soon after, and encouraged by my family, I chose to not ignore my MS but to turn my cam-era on it instead. I had made films all my life, so making a film about the progression of the disease seemed a natural way for me to process the journey.
