10 Celebrities with Multiple Sclerosis
4. Jason DaSilva
Jason DaSilva is an American director, producer, writer, and disability rights activity. He is best known for his Emmy Award winning documentary titled “When I Walk.” The documentary follows his life after his primary progressive MS diagnosis at the age of 25. Being refined to a wheelchair, DaSilva uses his platform to address the stigmas of disability, to show how he copes with the challenges of MS, and to shine a light on the disease.
“It is all about freedom. As long as I can keep doing things creatively, or making things, I’m OK” said DaSilva.
