CLEVELAND, Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The largest Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patient education event in the Greater Cleveland Metro Area is scheduled to take place on November 10th at the Intercontinental Cleveland, located on the campus of the Cleveland Clinic. This free event, produced by MSWorld, is open to all people in the Cleveland area who live with MS and their families, friends, & caregivers.
This MSWorld Talks program will be moderated by Wendy Booker, world-renowned motivational speaker, mountain climber, author and MS patient.
