Episode 393: MS Awareness Week with Case Jernigan and Suni Conway

RealTalk MS

It's MS Awareness Week, and the National MS Society is asking everyone in the MS community to tell MS exactly what they think of it. We're kicking off MS Awareness Week by introducing you to two difference-makers in the MS community who have each found their own way of talking back to MS.

Case Jernigan is an experimental animator, narrative gamemaker, and educator. His short animated documentary, Noggin, is currently making the rounds of the film festival circuit, raising awareness of how Case reacted and responded to his early symptoms of MS.

Suni Conway is an MS activist who has lived with MS for nearly 13 years. Suni uses her social media platform to raise awareness about MS diagnosis and treatment, and the need for healthcare reform.

Be sure to follow RealTalk MS all week long, as we celebrate MS Awareness Week with bonus episodes featuring conversations with leading MS experts from the 2025 ACTRIMS Forum!
