When I was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, I did a lot of thinking about why this happened to ME and how MS was going to impact MY life. It didn’t take long for me to see that I wasn’t the only one with MS. On the day that I received my diagnosis, my whole family was given this disease.

My parents and sister and other family members got to experience the diagnosis with me. My daughter learned about MS and how we are going to fight it when she was 11 years old.

Every week is MS Awareness week for me and those of us with and MS and loving someone with MS. That being said, I love that we have our own special week. I think that they should call it MS ACTION week,  so  it is more inspiring to actually DO something about MS rather than just be aware.

The Patient’s Manifesto

I believe that patients are not getting an adequate return on the billions of government, non-profit and industry dollars being spent on the research and development of new patient treatments. I believe that academic scientists, government funding and regulatory agencies, non-profit disease research foundations, commercial biotech and pharmaceutical companies, and entrepreneurs should aggressively seek new ways to accelerate the pace of medical research and the development of new patient treatments for the billions living with diseases who can’t afford to wait.
