Episode 129: MS Advocacy in 2020 with Bari Talente

In just two weeks, the National MS Society is hosting its annual Public Policy Conference in Washington, D.C. The centerpiece of that conference is our Day On The Hill when 300 MS Activists meet with our Congressional Representatives and Senators to discuss the legislative issues that are most important to people affected by MS. My guest is Bari Talente, the Executive Vice President of Advocacy for the National MS Society and we're talking all about this year's Public Policy Conference and the value and importance of advocacy. We'll also let you know how and where to sign up for Discovering Life-Changing Treatments for Progressive MS, the global webcast from the International Progressive MS Alliance. (You have to hurry! It's happening in 2 days!) You'll hear about an encouraging study of the effectiveness of stem cell therapy for some people living with secondary progressive MS. We're also talking about why you might want to support Jon in this year's Walk MS. And you'll learn about a non-invasive breakthrough technology that provides a detailed assessment of the status of MS progression and the effectiveness of disease-modifying therapy...in 10 seconds. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??! ___________ Sharing Some Crazy Statistics :44
