Episode 105: BBQ For MS? It's the Southern Smoke Festival with Chris Shepherd

Five years ago, James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Shepherd decided to hold a barbecue event in his restaurant's parking lot, to raise money for the National MS Society. Today, the Southern Smoke Festival has grown into the largest 3rd party MS Society fundraising event in the United States, and with the 5th Annual Southern Smoke Festival just a few weeks away, we're talking with Chris about how this event got its start, and how it's grown to be one of the most noteworthy culinary events in the country. We're also talking about the new vaccination guidelines (including flu shots!) that were just published by the American Academy of Neurology for people living with MS. We'll tell you about a study that gives you one more reason to start disease-modifying therapy early...and stay on it! We'll also tell you about a study that shows the cost of MS disease-modifying therapy has increased 7X over just 10 years for Medicare patients. And we've found one more study that demonstrates how people with more advanced progressive MS can still benefit from physical rehabilitation. We have a lot to talk about!
