Entrepreneurial Story:
More than 30 years ago, I heard the words, “You have multiple sclerosis,” and my life changed forever. After months of being dismissed by doctors, I finally had an answer – but I was also facing an uncertain future. What I didn’t know at the time was that this diagnosis would become the catalyst for a career dedicated to helping others navigate life-changing health conditions.
After becoming frustrated with an MS drug, I took my concerns directly to the pharmaceutical company making it. That encounter changed the trajectory of my life and sparked the creation of Snow Companies, a global patient engagement company dedicated to helping the life sciences industry better understand, communicate with, and support patients. My journey has taught me that adversity doesn’t have to define us, it can propel us toward a greater purpose. And that life, even after a lifechanging diagnosis, can be more beautiful and fulfilling than you could have ever imagined.
“Hope isn't just something you feel.
It's something you do.”
