It's only been two years since Robin was diagnosed with MS, but much has changed. She's doing great, by the way. Today I picked her up with her mom and drove them down to Roanoke where we had the pleasure of attending the Women Against Multiple Sclerosis Luncheon and listening to Robin as the keynote speaker. She did a wonderful job. She recounted those early months of her diagnosis where she was very symptomatic and immediately jumped into doing all she could to raise funds for MS research. Her exciting win of the SixDegrees.org contest, the ensuing visit to CA to meet Kevin Bacon, and his subsequent nomination of her for CNN's Heroes Series were the highlights of her talk, and it was exciting to travel back to that time for a while. I know she was an inspiration to many of the women in the crowd who struggle with MS, and I was proud to be a part of the day. You can read more about her story here.
