Last night we spent the evening with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society as they facilitated guest speakers that touched on research updates and healthy eating.
The event was held at Fishs Eddy in the Union Square neighborhood. Definitely stop by their shop if you’re ever in New York City — they have awesome gift and home items to purchase.
Speakers for the evening included:
- Timothy Coetzee, Ph. D
- Patrizia Casaccia, M.D., Ph.D
- Celebrity Chef, Mario Batali
Timothy Coetzee
Timothy discussed some of what the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is doing to further advance research. It’s always uplifting to hear that the Society is pushing boundaries and working so hard to help develop medical breakthroughs.
Patrizia Casaccia
Patrizia highlighted some of the latest medical advancements and briefly touched on a promising new drug that should be starting round one of clinical trials later this year.
Mario Batali
Mario has a new book out that details the importance of farm to table eating. If you’ve been following multiple sclerosis news, you likely know that a wide belief is that diet can, in some circles, positively impact the disease. This fact goes hand and hand with (clean eating) farm to table eating.
The Home T is extremely committed to raising money for multiple sclerosis research. Events such as these confirm that there are amazing people working behind the scenes to find a cure for this disease.
