As well as featuring stories of individuals who are living with MS on the podcast, I also like to shine a light on organizations that are working to offer support to our community. One of my favorites is Can Do MS, a national nonprofit organization that provides education, resources, and support for people with MS and their support partners.
In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Julia Kender, who joined Can Do MS as a Digital Content Specialist. She told me how her background in journalism and social media helped her to transition smoothly into her role at Can Do MS.
Julia passionately believes in the importance of personal stories in raising awareness about MS. She discussed the challenges of providing clear answers to complex questions from individuals with MS, highlighting the importance of seeking help and support.
We talked about the unique programs offered by CanDo MS, including dedicated initiatives for care partners and upcoming projects focusing on men with MS. Julia expressed her excitement for new faces and short-form video content to be featured on social media, aiming to provide diverse perspectives and support for the MS community.
If you or someone you know could benefit from their resources, don't hesitate to reach out to Can Do MS for support.
