“It was a tremendous honor to be recognized by my peers for years of working on behalf of people with MS and their families,” Perrin Ross said. “None of this would have been possible without the support of the Loyola community,” Perrin Ross said.
Congratulations to Amy Perrin Ross and on the behalf of all of us afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis we appreciate the work you have done and all the future work and dedication you have towards helping people with MS!
As MS patients we often overlook all those people behind the scenes at the medical offices, universities and pharma companies that work and work on this ever so difficult disease that many of us have.
On behalf of myself and the members of MS Unites we want you all to know how much we appreciate all you do! Without oh so many of you we would be truly lost.
