RealTalk MS Episode 6: Being an MS Activist with Heather Fargo
This week, we're talking about MS Activism with the former mayor of Sacramento, California and current MS Activist, Heather Fargo. In last week's podcast, we talked about the prescription drug price transparency bill that was recently signed into law in California. Heather played an important role in the passage of that law, and we'll be talking to her about why that law is so important to the MS community. We're also going to talk about why it's important to use your power as an MS Activist, and how you can become an MS Activist, if you aren't one already.

The ECTRIMS-ACTRIMS joint conference starts tomorrow in Paris. It's the largest annual international MS research conference in the world, and the National MS Society and the International Progressive MS Alliance are hosting a webcast that you won't want to miss. We'll give you all the details and let you know how you can register for the webcast.

We're also talking about a newly announced national MS Registry that you and your neurologist can participate in. And we'll look at a new Lemtrada study that produced some really encouraging results.

We've got the news, views, interviews & breakthroughs that are important to you. So...are you ready for RealTalk MS?
