With the nonprofit's annual gala set to take place June 2 in L.A., founder Nancy Davis talks about the remarkable achievements that have brought 25 drugs to market to fight the disease: 'They can really help stop the progression of MS which is really everything.'
When philanthropist and jewelry designer Nancy Davis founded Race to Erase MS 30 years ago, the medical world was grappling with limited solutions for those affected by multiple sclerosis, the chronic neurological disease in which immune system cells attack myelin in the central nervous system.
Two years earlier, in 1991, Davis refused to accept the bleak prognosis handed to her at the age of 33 when she herself was diagnosed with MS. “They [doctors] told me I should just go home and go to bed. There were a lot of hocus-pocus remedies like bee stings — pretty crazy things that were not going to help you. It was quite scary and terrifying. I obviously did not listen.”
