One-on-One with Maryland's First Lady Dawn Moore

In her first one-on-one interview since becoming Maryland's first lady, Dawn Moore opens up about living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) after being diagnosed with the auto-immune disease a decade ago.

"I was diagnosed with M.S. in my late twenties. And, you know, to get a diagnosis like that was quite devastating because it is one of those illnesses where you don't know what the future may hold," said Moore to FOX 5's Angie Goff. "I remember breaking down in tears because I just thought, that's it for me. But when I found this doctor and she gave me the confidence to understand that you're going to be okay."

Moore says that now is the time for her to go public with her diagnosis.

"If I can help somebody along the way, I want to be able to do that," said Moore.
