Jessica Collier began feeling the symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis back
in 1997. She was officially diagnosed in 1998. But, she never let the disease impact her
incredibly positive attitude and drive to do good for the community. She took an extremely
creative path to drive awareness of the disease by creating “Mermaid
Mondays” during MG Awareness Month every year.
Ronni Merrill Faust is a cabaret singer and dedicated supporter of
MGFA since her husband was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis six years ago. Ronni talked to
the MGFA staff in the July 2020 MGFA News enewsletter.
