Episode 448: At the National MS Society's Public Policy Conference with David, Cliff, and Michelle

Last week, about 170 MS activists from across the country gathered in Washington, D.C. to participate in the National MS Society's Public Policy Conference. It's hard to come away from this event and not feel outraged by the stories that are shared, but also inspired by the resilience and bravery of the MS Activists who are willing to share some of the worst moments in their MS journey to make sure that our elected representatives in the House and Senate understand why the legislation we ask them to support is so vitally important.

I met so many truly amazing MS activists at this year's Public Policy Conference, and you'll meet some of them in this week's episode. We're also sharing survey results that paint a disturbing picture of the human consequences that resulted from losing Congressional funding to support enhanced premium tax credits for ACA Marketplace Enrollees

The National MS Society has invested $2.3 million in 11 research projects focused on women's health issues and MS. We're sharing details of each new research initiative being funded.

You'll learn about a clinical trial for a novel investigational therapy for MS and other autoimmune diseases.

And we'll tell you about a study that you can participate in from home...and get compensated for your participation!

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
