Ron has been very involved with helping to raise funds for our MS research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Being a singer and having his voice effected by Multiple Sclerosis, Ron is eager to work with the TCNL and see if the new CN-NINM device can help him regain some of that incredible singing voice.

Here are three songs of Ron back in the day during his Broadway career.

• Thank You Heaven for Little Girls from the musical Gigi

• Almost Like Being in Love from the musical Brigadoon
