Episode 40: An MS Activist Is Running for Office with Marques Jones

MS Activist Marques Jones is running for public office in his home state of Virginia. Marques and I sat down to discuss how his role as an MS Activist led to his candidacy, and how his MS diagnosis has continued to inform his business life and his political life. We're also talking about the existential threat that now exists for people with pre-existing medical conditions in the U.S., how the MSAA can provide financial assistance for your MRI exam, how Ocrevus may delay the need for a wheelchair for 7 years, and the first clinical trial that's been designed to recognize the needs of severely disabled MS patients. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS? ____________
