Get to Know Us
Lucia Rivera
President
Multiple Sclerosis affects millions of people, including our co-workers, friends, families, and loved ones. My daughter, Lorena, was diagnosed with MS in October 2015. After her diagnosis, our world as we knew it came to an end because this monster, as it's known to us, has taken over our baby's body and we can't fight it because there is no cure. We will not accept the fact that there is no cure.
