Welcome back to the new season of Let's Talk MS, proudly presented by the European Multiple Sclerosis Platform (EMSP).

We’re excited to be back and to open this season with a special episode focusing on children with MS and their families as they go back to school. In this episode, we explore the unique challenges that paediatric MS brings, from school life and friendships to health and family relationships.

Alongside hosts Elisabeth Kasilingam and Anna Revilla, we are excited to introduce our guests: 

  • Emily Blosberg is the founder of Mr Oscar Monkey, an NGO that helps children living with MS. After being diagnosed with MS herself at the age of 15, Emily discovered her passion for helping children, teenagers and young adults with MS to connect with each other.
  • Eleanor Kitson, a graphic designer from the UK, was also diagnosed with MS at 15. She is a member of the EMSP Young People's Network. Her MS journey has taught her resilience and creativity, and has shown her the importance of finding her voice and showing that life with MS can still be full of colour, purpose and possibility.
