Myelin Repair Foundation's president Wins the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award

Myelin Repair Foundation's president and founder, Scott Johnson, recently won the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award for the entire region of Northern California.  This award is typically given to for-profit business owners but this regional chapter E&Y also wanted to honor social entrepreneurs for their work.

Scott Johnson was diagnosed with MS at age 20, living his entire adult life with the disease. He became a serial entrepreneur, starting multiple companies and consulting for the Boston Consulting Group. After he left the business world, he made it his personal mission to find a treatment for MS, applying his past experience in creating the Myelin Repair Foundation. With the MRF, he is now able to make a significant impact on other people w/ MS around the world.

Our hope is that the E&Y Entrepreneur of the Year Award will help to elevate awareness and interest in MS and in MS research among an audience of entrepreneurs. The next step after winning the regional awards is the national awards in November, and we need all the help we can get to get out the word to the MS community online.
