Third Annual Dressing Well — An Evening to Benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society"
Event Co-chair, Karen Van Houten, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
at the age of 29, arranged for Massachusetts State Representative Rachel
Kaprielian, a member of the state's Joint Committee on Healthcare, to share
her keen understanding of issues facing people with chronic illnesses,
including MS. Karen bravely shared her very personal journey of living with
MS during our inaugural event in 2000 and continues to work hard to help
others bring their stories to the attention of those in a position to raise
money to support MS research and patient aid.
