Fox’s Janice Dean says she has multiple sclerosis

March 10th, 2008

From Fox News:

Janice Dean, a weather forecaster on the Fox News Channel, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis two and a half years ago. She said she chose to discuss her condition this week because it is National MS Awareness Week.

She believes that with a positive attitude she and others can beat this disease.

“I really don’t want to be the poster girl for this disease,” she said. “But I do want others with it to know that they are not alone. There are others out there that are just like them going through the same thing. And my life is fairly normal. I just have a few little obstacles that I have to deal with.”
