A life impacted, but not defined by Multiple Sclerosis: Bibianne’s story

Bibianne Yu was a piano teacher all her life – until 2016.

That year, she sold her beloved piano, eight years after she was first diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). The disease affected the agility of her fingers and gradually took away her ability to enjoy one of her life’s greatest passions.

MS is a degenerative disease that impacts the central nervous system by breaking down nerves’ protective layering and causing damage.

MS is “Canada’s disease,” with one of the world’s highest rates of the condition. One in every 385 Canadians are living with the disease.

St. Michael’s, where Bibianne receives care, is the country’s largest MS centre, with more than 8,000 patients receiving treatment at its clinic. The hospital has a unique opportunity to change the trajectory of MS for its patients through world-class, specialty care and leading research and innovation.
