Description

As a very active and adventurous individual, Nancy Davis was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at 33. She was told she would be "lucky" to operate a TV remote control again and that she would lose mobility. She was also told that there would never be a drug to alleviate the symptoms.  Nancy could not accept this and was determined to find a cure. As the founder and chairwoman of Race to Erase MS, over the last 27 years, she has raised over $51 million in contributions. They have funded MS research grants and programs totaling over $30 million, which have resulted in countless breakthrough drugs. In this episode, you will hear what it's like when a disease threatens to take over your life. You will learn how Nancy started this movement and the strategic ways she got diverse and unrelated teams to collaborate to make an enormous impact.
