Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

Nearly 75% of all Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients are women. When faced with this shocking diagnosis, many women and their families face physical, informational, emotional, and financial crises.  In order to better educate and galvanize our community against MS, we are pleased to host the 12th Annual Women Against MS Luncheon.

The Women Against MS (WAMS) Luncheon will be held on Friday, April 14, 2017 at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix. Guests will share the joys of a fine lunch while watching an inspirational program. We are thrilled to announce our Keynote Speaker as Camerone Parker, model and TV personality. She will share her experiences with MS. Camerone embodies the strength and grace of many women living with MS.

A star of the high fashion and beauty industry, Camerone has appeared in over 300 magazines worldwide. She has walked the runways for top designers including Vera Wang, Donna Karan and Giorgio Armani.

In 1998, Camerone was diagnosed with MS. She decided not to share this with anyone outside of her family, knowing the diagnosis could potentially end her career.  She needed every modeling job possible to pay for her continued care and drug therapy. In 2009, Camerone decided to go public with her diagnosis and became a powerful celebrity voice for patient advocacy for MS and treatment.

Susan Casper of ABC 15's Sonoran Living will emcee the event.
