Nancy was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at the age of 33 in 1991. After being told by her doctors that she would be “lucky” to operate a remote control on her TV, she realized she was too young and too busy to let the disease stop her life in its tracks. She was determined to devote her time, relationships, and resources to finding a cure. Nancy has tremendous hope, courage, and strength and is tireless in her efforts to find a cure for MS in her lifetime.
In 1993 she founded the Race to Erase MS, an organization dedicated to funding audacious research through its Center Without Walls program in an effort to find a cure for MS. The gala will take place at the Fairmont Century Plaza on Friday, May 10, 2024.
