  • Clay Walker Diagnosed With Debilitating Disease

    Instead of singing a song of sorrow and pain… Check out what this amazing singer is doing! I think I might have a new hero.

    This is what celebrities are supposed to be doing!

    Country music star Clay Walker is best known for his crooning, but he is also living with Multiple Sclerosis.

    Three years after the release of his first single, Walker received the diagnosis.

    Nineteen years later, he has never let it put the brakes on his music career.

    He is using his stage to raise awareness about the debilitating disease. In January, the country crooner turned cyclist to Band Against MS at a ride in Hockley, Texas.

    Walker's ride has raised more than $2 million to date, and most of the money has gone to research and programs in the Houston area. He says he accepts the challenge of living with MS and being an ambassador for others.

    If you were a successful Country Music Celebrity and were diagnosed with something as debilitating as M.S. what would you do?
