Firstly, I had no idea Annette had multiple sclerosis, so I was very shocked and hurt by this video. Secondly I just want to say that I grew up with the original Mickey Mouse Club. I'm young, but I know more about Annette and Bobby than Justin and Britney (90's Mickey Mouse Club). God bless her and her family and anyone else with this horrific disease.:(:(:(

I decided to also post a more positive video, Annette performing at Disneyland.:)

Breaks my heart to see on of my idols in this situation. We just found out my cousin has MS and Annette's story makes me scared for my cousins health.

Wasn't Vault Disney the best? There was nothing I looked forward to the most than watching all the classics at midnight.:)

Thanks she has little kids so she is trying to live as much of her life now as she can. It is scary though because they don't even know if MS is hereditary or not so we don't know if anyone else is my family is at risk.

There was a tv movie about her life in the 90's. I don't remember the name of it, but she did a small cameo at the very end. It was just so sad to see her like that. I'm going to look online and see if I can find it.
