Wherever you are on your Multiple Sclerosis or caregiving journey, here are two people who get it.
Dan and Jennifer Digmann will share perspectives on life from a husband and wife who each have MS and serve as each other’s primary caregiver. He’s walking, she’s rolling. See how together, they keep moving forward.
If you’re looking for dynamic speakers who will engage, empower and inspire your team or audience, see what Dan and Jennifer Digmann are talking about and why they are the couple you need to present at your event.
Dan and Jennifer have engaging programs to share, including:
- Remember to take good care of “us”
When people have Multiple Sclerosis, it’s easy to think they’re the only ones living with the disease. The symptoms. The fears. The unknown. But MS also affects the spouse, children and extended family and friends. So many people are impacted, but they’re never alone. See how there is strength in numbers when you remember that you all are on the same team and you’re battling the disease … together. - Making YOU Your Top Priority
Focusing on yourself may sound selfish, but it often is the best thing you can do to strengthen your caregiving relationship. After all, if you aren’t performing at your best, it makes it more difficult for your care partner to do the same. See how incorporating some simple self-care activities can improve the overall well-being of you and your caregiving team. - The Day MS Met Its Match
- Staying Positive in the Face of Adversity
- Powering Through Adversity Full “STEAM” Ahead
