Father and son to headline MS luncheon

Stuart SchlossmanAn MS Patients Story, Multiple Sclerosis

Everyone agrees, multiple sclerosis is one bad apple, but this celebrity family won’t let it spoil the whole bunch. Singer-songwriter David Osmond is returning to Connecticut for the 28th annual Women Against MS (WAMS) luncheon of Fairfield County on Friday, May 6, at the Hyatt Regency in Old Greenwich; but this year he won’t be alone.

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.
