After decades of surfing, local legend Steve Bettis was diagnosed with progressive MS in 2006. While surfing is still central to his life, he hasn't been able to get on the water in 10 years. This year the National MS Society and professional surfer Robert "Wingnut" Weaver worked together to create a virtual-reality experience to get Steve back on a wave.

Amy Meisner grew up dancing on New York City stages. In 1997 she was diagnosed with primary progressive MS, which changed her ability to dance like she once could. This year the National MS Society teamed up with professional dancer LaTonya Swann to create an entirely new dance experience for Amy through virtual reality.
