What if everyone living with MS could connect with one another? Or with those who research ways to stop, restore or end the disease? Or those who provide medical care or treat the symptoms of MS? MS destroys connections. It’s only fitting that connections would be its greatest enemy. If everyone touched by this disease combine their effort, knowledge and hope, then maybe, the connections we make can become more powerful than the connections MS destroys.
LEADERSHIP When our community’s value is in the vibrancy and depth of shared experiences and perspectives – the power and possibilities of connections with the MS movement are limitless. Chris Lingle Wells Fargo Advisors Hall of Fame
