Next year in 2019 (literally in a few months) I finally get to go to Capital Hill in DC with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society of Southern California/Nevada.
As an MS district activist leader in my state, I am very passionate about MS advocacy and government relations. This is extremely important to me. I have been working with the NMSS as a Nevada MS Activist for over 5 years now and I love it. I have visited the legislature in my state capital Carson City several times and the outcome of sharing my story with lawmakers has made a difference for me and my fellow MSers in Nevada. We advocated for health insurance for pre-existing conditions, cost of MS treatments/prescriptions and caregiver assistance just to name a few. We are game changers and we don't give up.
Stay tuned for more about my exciting trip to D.C.
