Episode 69: MS & Travel with Tarita Davenock, CEO of Travel For All

The logistics involved in traveling can be cumbersome, and that's twice as true if you're living with MS. Mobility issues and other special requirements can make travel challenging. But whether you're out exploring the world or just checking into a local hotel for a pampered staycation, travel can add so much to your quality of life. My guest on the podcast is Tarita Davenock. It's been 20 years since Tarita's MS diagnosis. And today, Tarita is the CEO of Travel For All, a travel agency that embraces the philosophy that travel should be inclusive, and not exclusive. Last week, a federal judge declared the Affordable Care Act to be unconstitutional, and we're talking about what that means for people living with MS. We'll share some newly published results of a stem cell therapy clinical trial, we'll tell you about a study that demonstrates how exercise improves myelin repair in the mouse model of MS, and we'll tell you about CanProCo, a large MS research project just getting underway in Canada. Jon and RealTalk MS were featured in last week's Causepods podcast. We'll tell you what that's all about, and how Causepods has created a way for you to support the National MS Society. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS?! ___________
