My last speech as a patient advocate for Biogen Idec will be on 10/08/14. The company has decided not to renew several contracts for the Tysabri advocates. I think it depends on the need in our area. I'm not sure but I have really enjoyed that past 3 years as representative of Biogen Idec. I have flown to the conferences in Boston every year, all expenses paid. I have forged relationships with tons of other patient advocates and I have met a lot of MS patients just like me trying to figure out how to fit MS into our lives. This has been a very meaningful experience in more ways than one and I would truly like to thank Biogen Idec for sponsoring me.
Well, I must go now. I'm awaiting a phone call from Taylor with Lazarr Partners to listen to and time my final speech and give me pointers. I'm going to miss talking to her. My husband plans to record my final speech and I plan to post it on this blog.
I am so glad that I was in attendance at your last speech. Prior to hearing your story, I couldn't imagine how I would be able to continue on with my goals and dreams. Now I'm hopeful that with the right treatment plan, it could be possible for me to continue with my beautifully unhindered life. Your are the only personal success story that I've heard over the last year. The Reno area is definitely in need of hearing more of these encouraging life stories. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHello LightLadyT. I did not see this post from you, and even though it has been 9 years, I want to acknowledge how much I value your feedback. I ever understood the power of my words more than when I shared my personal stories that encouraged and inspired so many MS patients. Thank you so much for your kind words a day thoughts. It blesses me to know that my words made a difference for you and your own journey of living with MS. I hope you see this and most of all, I hope you are doing well.
