Overcoming MS to scale Everest from BBC News reports that 53 year old Lori Schneider, affected by MS for ten years, kept to her dream and climbed Mount Everest, despite physical challenges, the loss of her teaching career and marriage.
But she says making it to the summit is just a bonus.
The real achievement, she says, is that in coming to terms with MS and the possibility that she may one day lose her mobility, she has been able to face down her fears.
"Who you are inside... that's what's important. That will always be there," she said.
"Whether my legs carry me up a mountain or not, I'm still who I am deep inside."
