It\u2019s especially meaningful to stand alongside those driving real progress toward a cure and to be part of a committed, inspiring community dedicated to something far bigger than any one of us.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s unclear how long the veteran communications executive has been dealing with MS but in a release about the honor, Race to Erase MS<\/a> praised her for using her voice and platform \u201cto powerfully demonstrate that an MS diagnosis may reshape aspects of life, but it does not define one\u2019s identity or what they can accomplish.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tShe has continued to soldier on in her demanding role at Disney as she leads a team across a huge stable of shows, brands and platforms.
