We kick off Season 4 of the Demystifying NMO & MOG Podcast with a very special guest, Candice Galvan.

Candice became an Ambassador for The Sumaira Foundation after her daughter was diagnosed with NMO. She joins us today to talk about her path to becoming an advocate and how she is helping care for others through her work as program manager for TSF’s Human Collective Project.
