This weekend someone told me what an incredibly thoughtful gift I gave them. "You're… welcome?" I had no idea what they were talking about.

“I am confident that people whose MS is just beginning can truly be optimistic about their prospects for a life free from disability"

Dr. Stephen Hauser, who has been working on MS for decades, is hopeful that the world is on the cusp of a new era in MS. “The battle is not yet won, but all of the pieces are in place to soon reach the finish line — a cure for MS. … I think we can, in the next few years, completely suppress the disease in most people, if the proverbial tea leaves continue to point in the direction that they do today,” he said. And a cure for MS could be close behind.

And in the last decade, UCSF researchers have made incredible advances that could, one day, reverse MS symptoms or even treat the disease before it begins.

Today, clinical studies like those being conducted by the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, which Hauser directs, are investigating new ways to aggressively treat MS sooner with existing medications and new, more powerful versions. They are also concentrating on myelin repair. The Institute is applying lessons learned from MS to develop treatments for degenerative brain disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as well as ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).

“I tell them that … they’re going to have to love themselves."

He made fitness fun, inclusive, nonjudgmental — and funny. Opened one of the earliest aerobics clubs and called it "Slimmons." Turned it around himself and made it his life helping others do the same.

"I want you to enjoy your life to the fullest every single day. Get up in the morning and look at the sky… count your blessings and enjoy.” #RichardSimmons
