Stratford Attorney Battles Formidable Foe
Stratford resident Chris Timpanelli, Esq., poses with Lisa Gerrol, president, National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter, just before the start of the 35th Annual MS Dinner of Champions, which took place on Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the Hilton Stamford Hotel, in Stamford. Timpanelli, who serves on the MS Dinner of Champions committee, battles multiple sclerosis. More than 300 people attended the black tie optional event, which raised more than $360,000. Funds raised through National MS Society events ensure ongoing scientific research to help develop better treatments and a cure for multiple sclerosis, a potentially debilitating disease. Funds also provide for the continuation of programs and services offered by the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter, to the 6,000 residents in the state battling multiple sclerosis.
