Dan and Jennifer share their perspectives on life from a husband and wife who each have Multiple Sclerosis. He’s walking, she’s rolling. Together, they keep moving forward. Jennifer has secondary-progressive MS; Dan’s is relapsing-remitting. They met at an MS event in 2002, were married in 2005 and have worked to empower people through their relatable stories of love, empathy, and helping each other to stay in front of the obstacles that MS and life put in their way. The Michigan couple maintains a nationally recognized blog http://acoupletakesonms.com/ and host the weekly online radio show “A Couple Takes On MS.” They co-wrote the book, “Despite MS, to Spite MS” and regularly contribute to various MS publications and websites. They are MS activists, serve as District Activist Leaders, and in 2015 were inducted into the NMSS Volunteer Hall of Fame for Advocacy.
