I am so pleased to announce my acceptance of nomination and selection by the Board of Directors of the International Alliance of ALS/MND Associations to serve on the Advisory Council.

This is quite an honour and my pleasure to further the cause of ALS/MND on a global scale.  Many of you who know me know that international collaboration is near and dear to my heart.  I have a passion not only for travel, but of meeting people of diverse cultures, thoughts, opinions and knowledge.  Some of my tasks will include providing input on International Advocacy for PALS/CALS, and being a "voice" of PALS to advance the Alliance's Mission:  to create a world free of ALS/MND.

At the time Carol was an active member of her community, working full time with the Canadian Mental Health Association as an art therapist.  Currently living in Ottawa with her husband Travis, Carol is an Ambassador for the ALS Society of Canada. She has participated in advocacy for ALS awareness and research funding with the University of Ottawa, various media agencies, and the federal government of Canada.
