Thank you @RepBrianFitz for meeting with us and for always supporting the MS community. We discussed the importance of CDMRP funding for MS research and the Voice of the Patient Report. Grateful that you continue to listen and advocate for people with MS. #MS #nmss #msactivist https://t.co/iK0mA8oBXf

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

Great meeting today with the National @mssociety and our own PA-1 constituent advocate, my friend Denise Franklin, whose tireless advocacy has made a real and lasting difference for individuals and families living with MS in our community and across the nation.

Denise and I have been in this fight together for a long time, and I’m grateful to continue working alongside her and the incredible NMSS team to advance the research, innovation, and federal support needed to move us closer to a cure. That means continuing to fight for strong investment through CDMRP and MSRP, supporting progress in biomarker testing and treatment, and making sure the voices of those living with MS continue to be heard in the halls of Congress and beyond.

That same spirit will be on full display here at home on April 26 at our annual MS Walk in Sellersville. Each year, this incredible event brings together families, advocates, and supporters from across our community to raise critical funds, build awareness, and help power the research and support that drive the National MS Society’s mission forward.

As a member of the Congressional Multiple Sclerosis Caucus, I’m proud to continue partnering with Denise and the NMSS team as we keep pushing this fight forward.
