Life-changing MS diagnosis and Moving forward.

“I felt a deterioration of my walking gait and couldn’t feel my feet contacting the ground. My toes would curl up at the touch, “floaters” appeared in my right eye and the bladder was becoming a problem. Weeks of testing resulted in the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis that ended my radio career in 2005.”

Kim’s Nugget of Hope: Open your mind to solutions. It’s in your DNA to give and work hard. Take the time to find it (solutions).

As a 33-year radio broadcaster, Kim Curry was forced into Retirement after a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis at age 50. “Come Get Me Mother.” was a two-year writing education that doubled as therapy. Now living in Loveland, Colorado with his wife and enjoying life, he’s a dedicated foodie who loves to cook, is an International soccer fan, and an MS advocate who makes the rounds at different “Men with Multiple Sclerosis” meetings in Northern Colorado. Writing is his new hobby.

Kim Curry was a radio broadcaster for 33 years in some of America’s finest cities: Pueblo, Knoxville, San Antonio, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Miami. Curry was a DJ in different time slots and the Program Director of two of America’s legendary stations; KTSA-AM San Antonio and Power 96, Miami.

Curry was a broadcaster in the days when ownership was limited to seven AM and seven FM radio stations before the radio’s corporate takeover. Creative freedom and owner trust led to huge ratings as DJ, consistently scoring the highest ratings in his timeslot. As Program Director, “Kid” Curry led Power 96 to the highest ratings in the station’s history and achieved the most significant cumulative audience in the Southeast United States.

In 2005, Kim Curry was forced into Retirement from the radio business after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
