From Mascara to Medicine: A Mom on a Mission

"Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) spectrum disease doesn’t only affect patients, it affects families and friends. The Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation Founder Victoria Jackson shares her reaction to her daughter’s diagnosis of NMO and what it means to be a mother on a mission to cure her daughter of this rare disease.

Having achieved success as a Hollywood makeup artist, cosmetics entrepreneur and TV infomercial pioneer, Ms. Jackson founded GJCF, which is dedicated to funding basic science research to find answers that will lead to the prevention, clinical treatment programs and a cure for NMO."
