Kenley Jansen will pay for treatment for multiple sclerosis patient

A vibrant young man, struck by an awful disease, forced into a wheelchair. An experimental treatment is available, but he cannot afford it.

The man lives halfway around the world, in the Netherlands. Jansen has never met him, or even heard of him.

He signed up for treatment in February, but he had to cancel when his fundraising fell short. Even months of selling cookies for 1 euro and barbecue dinners for 12 euros could not get the man close to his goal.
