What a Cure Means to Scott

When he was finally diagnosed with progressive MS in 2002, Scott Crawford found himself at a crossroads. After leaving the world of clinical neuropsychology, he had to make a “plan B,” picking up the pieces and finding a different calling in his life.

“There are very few things that I’m absolutely certain of, but one of them is that we are all tasked with creating something meaningful with what we have available,” says Scott.

Since then, Scott has persevered to take on countless leadership roles as a volunteer, serving as a board member in his local Society market, a Bike MS-enthusiast and a tireless disability rights activist. He continues to share his knowledge and passion to speak out on behalf of the MS community — on everything from ADA compliance, accessibility and the importance of fueling progress toward a world free of MS.

“Creating a society that welcomes everyone, regardless of ability, is what I’m passionate about,” he says.

A cure for Scott would mean trading the wheels of his mobility scooter for the wheels of his bicycle — but as “plan B,” he’s happy to settle for no one ever again having to hear, “you have MS.”
