Nancy is an active individual with an incredible zest for life. She skis, plays tennis, has a black belt in karate, exercises, and travels – living her life to the fullest. She is an extremely dedicated philanthropist, author of Lean On Me and most importantly, she is a full-time mother who is devoted to her five children. Nancy was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the young age of 33. She decided that she was too young and too busy to let the disease slow her down. After being told by doctors that she was “lucky” that she could afford live-in assistance when the disease progressed and she became homebound – she was determined to devote her time, relationships and resources to finding a cure. Nancy’s hope, courage and strength continue to inspire her to maintain a vibrant quality of life despite this chronic disease, but most of all, she remains positive, continues to live her life to the fullest and is tireless in her efforts to finding the cure for MS. Claudia Curry Hill (Moderator) Claudia Curry Hill was diagnosed with progressive MS 28 years ago. An activist for women’s health and the disabled, she is very active in founding and serving on non- profit boards, including the Nancy Davis Foundation for MS and the Colorado, Wyoming Chapter of the MS Society and is a spokesperson for Breast Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis and Bioness. Claudia is married, the mother of three and the owner of CCH Connections, a non profit and event consulting group in Colorado. She believes that exercise, a positive attitude and empowering yourself with all the information you can find will improve your quality of life until a cure is found.

  • What About the Osbournes? Each Member of the Osbournes Has a Developed
    The Osbournes’: Genre, Reality TV, and the Domestication of Rock ‘n Roll by Rick Pieto and Kelly Otter The latest trend of television programming is reality TV, a genre that finds its most valuable content in the unabashed display of individuals willing to be put on display as they part with their privacy, dignity, and composure. The genre is clear, yet the formula varies so as to keep it fresh and increasingly bizarre to maintain its audience. Young women compete for a husband on camera by attempting to win the affection of a bachelor in six weeks; individuals compete for money by conquering their fears and consume live insects or allow themselves to be submerged under water for as long as possible; and couples test the strength of their relationships by subjecting themselves to the temptation of desirable strangers. Love, fear, and conflict provide the substance of a good story, and television producers have found a context in which drama is manufactured before a camera crew. But given the absence of a constructed context and specific roles to play, how do we define The Osbournes? How should we generically define this program about an aging heavy metal rock star and his “dysfunctional family?” One way to begin to place The Osbournes within an appropriate genre is to look at MTV’s presentation of the show. MTV sells The Osbournes as a reality TV sitcom and indeed its narrative structure is loosely similar to the sitcom formula, with real-life segments edited and sequenced to be reminiscent of a scripted program.

  • Jack Osbourne Goes Public with Multiple Sclerosis
    JUNE/JULY 2013 BY LINDA CHILDERS Jack Osbourne Goes Public With Multiple Sclerosis During spring of last year, Jack Osbourne began experiencing puzzling symptoms. On location in Utah to film Haunted Highway, his television series about the paranormal, the 27-year-old television star (and son of legendary rocker Ozzy and media personality Sharon) was shooting a scene that required him to scuba dive into a cold lake at night. He emerged from the water with a migraine-like headache. The next day, he awoke to find his eyesight blurry. As his vision became progressively worse, Osbourne made an appointment with his doctor, who referred him to a neurologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. After extensive testing—including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lumbar puncture (spinal tap)—Osbourne was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS)—the most common form of the degenerative, neurologic condition. The news came as a shock to Osbourne, who was introduced to audiences in The Osbournes. This hugely popular MTV reality series ran from 2002 to 2005 and featured the domestic life of his family. Engaged last year to his longtime girlfriend, Lisa Stelly, Osbourne had been anticipating one of the happiest years of his life. Two weeks prior to his diagnosis, he and Lisa had celebrated the birth of their daughter, Pearl, and were busy planning their wedding. Suddenly, Osbourne faced an uncertain future. "When I was diagnosed, I immediately thought of comedian Richard Pryor, who had MS," Osbourne says. "I envisioned being in a wheelchair a couple of years down the road and thought that was it-game over." It's not uncommon for people who are diagnosed with MS to initially fear the worst, says neurologist Barbara Giesser, M.D., Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and professor of clinical neurology and clinical director of the Multiple Sclerosis Program at the University of California, Los Angeles.
