"There are a lot of things I care about. Probably the one closest to my heart is Multiple Sclerosis, because my husband Richard has been living with it since he was 25.
I do my best given the platform that I have to get the word out about this disease, to let other people know they're not alone, and that this illness is very much a family affair. Richard and I are often asked to speak about MS, and we believe we have an obligation to do so.
I also serve on the board of the New York chapter of the MS Society. Actually one of my favorite things to do is participate in the annual MS Walk--you meet so many incredible people who are living with this chronic illness, and refuse to let it define them. I never leave there without being inspired."
