Osmond will be joined by his father Alan, a member of the famous Osmond Brothers singing troupe, as the keynote speakers at this years WAMS event. The 2010 event featured the younger Osmond, who was diagnosed with MS in 2006, as the keynote speaker and performer.
After graduating from college in 2005, David Osmond’s health began to deteriorate. He found himself unable to walk and consequently in a wheelchair for the better part of a year. He was initially diagnosed with West Nile Virus and a year later, he was also diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. As a result of his illness, his breathing became so labored he could no longer sing and playing a guitar was out of the question.
