The Quincy District Probation staff were a vision in orange after dressing in the color orange on Friday, May 30th, to bring attention to National Multiple Sclerosis MS Day.

"We came together to dress in orange to bring awareness to National MS Day," said Scharliea DaRoza, Quincy District Court Associate Probation Officer.

MS is a "disorder of the body's immune system, where the body develops antibodies to the white matter (myelin) in the brain or spinal cord. These antibodies attack myelin, which is a protective covering around the nerves or tracts within the brain, causing inflammation and breakdown of the myelin and can ultimately affect the nerves also and cause cell death," according to MS health information and data.
