About Catherine Dennes Akay

Tony Danza with Catherine Dennes Akay and Sally Thornber at the Nancy Davis Event.

Catherine Dennes Akay is the president and founder of cureMSnow!. Catherine made the decision to form her non-profit research fund after learning that the lack of necessary funding is the only thing interfering with the medical scientists' efforts to find a cure for MS. Of the major diseases that receive funding from the National Institute of Health for research to support a cure, multiple sclerosis was given the least amount of money, yet has the highest disability rating. This comes at a time when the cure is so close at hand. These facts motivated her leave her psychotherapy practice of fifteen years to spend as much time raising funds for the research aimed at a funding a cure for MS within the next five years. Catherine has suffered from the effects of Multiple Sclerosis for over 20 years. Instead of accepting the disease with a sense of hopelessness, Catherine has been combating the disease while attempting to maintain a sense of hopefulness. Catherine resides in Marin County, California, with her husband and son.

The mission of cureMSnow! is to facilitate and accelerate the pace of MS research by significantly increasing funding for new projects. The organization is not advertising for, nor recommending the use of any particular MS drug; cureMSnow! is not prepared for nor has the ability to handle questions directly related to MS drug prescribing information. If you have health related questions such as change in your treatment, or investigational drugs, these should be directed to your neurologist. You can also request an appointment with Dr. Genain or one of the MS specialists at the UCSF MS center, if you wish to.
