Listen "Ep35 In search for our unsung MS heroes: The launch of the new MS Australia Award Program"
Episode Synopsis
The MS community is brimming with extraordinary people whose remarkable contributions inspire us all. To celebrate and recognise more of these outstanding individuals, MS Australia has renewed its annual award program in 2024.
Today we talk about the important change to the MS Australia Awards including two new awards open to public nomination, the remarkable legacy of the late John Studdy and why his namesake award remains our centrepiece, the reason for the expansion of the Awards and about the ‘quiet achievers’ – including many living with MS and doing remarkable work every day in MS research, MS advocacy; as volunteers and carers.
And we talk about how you can get involved and nominate these individuals for an MS Australia award.
Our three guests today are:
Rachel Kerr, 2023 John Studdy Award Winner and MS Queensland Ambassador
Sharlene Brown, MS Australia Board Director and Chair of both the John Studdy Selection Panel and Advocacy Committee and
George Pampacos, MS Australia Deputy Chair, Chair-elect and 2021 John Studdy Award co-recipient.
All three have extensive and deep connections to MS and the MS community.
