For years, Alison Myrden was told she was simply "clumsy." The reality? She was living with multiple sclerosis—and fighting to be believed.
In this powerful clip, Alison reflects on how her legal team helped her see something she'd long accepted: being dismissed by the healthcare system wasn't normal.
It became part of a much bigger fight—not just for her own rights, but for medical cannabis access and better treatment for patients across Canada.
🎙️ "We're not clumsy—we're sick."
This is a conversation you won't want to miss. Stay tuned—the full conversation is coming tomorrow!
