Host Julana Dizon sits down with Camerone Parker!

Camerone Parker, who has emerged as the leading powerful celebrity voice in patient advocacy for MS and treatment. Today, she delights audiences nationwide as a highly in-demand speaker, sharing her unbelievable story of being diagnosed with MS and hiding the disease in a highly competitive world of international fashion so that she could earn money to pay for treatment. Having been featured throughout her storied modeling career in over 350 magazines, the former face of Olay has walked the runways for designers like Vera Wang, Giorgio Armani, and Bagley Mischka, to name a few. She's been seen on billboards around the country for brands like Ralph Lauren POLO and has made appearances on "Good Morning America," "The Today Show," "The View" and more. But while she's lived a very public life, she's guarded quite the secret. While at the highest point of her modeling career, Camerone was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Because of the costs of care-one of her medications was $65,000 a year-she chose to keep her illness a secret and continue working. Now she is passionate about helping find a cure. In that arena, it is without a doubt that she is making a real impact. Camerone has raised millions of dollars for various charities and never charges a speaker's fee. Of course, fashion is still very much a part of her life and one of the things she's quite passionate about. She was recently featured in the New York Times for her jaw-dropping appearance at NY Fashion Week, and has returned to the runway, calling it one of the proudest moments of her career. She also has quite the collection of couture and vintage finds in her closet. These days there is no "typical" day for Camerone, except that she is living life to the fullest and enjoying life as a newlywed. And although she's lived quite the jet-setting lifestyle, she is incredibly down to earth. When she isn't traveling, she and her husband spend their time in Phoenix or their second home in Sedona.
