Read about the Kalo Taxidi (Good Journey) project in this 2018 profile of Chris Granias from the American Composers Forum: 
Dr. Christos J. Granias remarks early in the conversation, “I’m a glass half full kind of person.” Composer, educator, humorist, and longtime ACF member, Granias has been living with multiple sclerosis (MS) since the 1990’s, and he sees it as part of life’s journey.
