  Julia Wagner – That's how she rolls
 
  Dear Sir or Madam,

Multiple sclerosis, MS. This diagnosis initially turned Julia Wagner's life upside down. It was quite a challenge for her to accept it. However, she has not let it take away her zest for life. In our "How we roll" interview with the 29-year-old, you can find out how she now encourages other people to live as positively and as happily as possible with their chronic illnesses.

Have a nice week!
