Hey everyone,
I need your help with something again if you’re willing & able - no pressure as I know life is busy for everyone ❤️. OUR petition has grown into something far bigger than I ever imagined with over 1k signatures & climbing and the support you’ve shown has meant the world to me, more then you could ever know . But right now… we’ve hit the part where our voices need to get louder.
We are still waiting on a response from the Premier’s office and the Ministry of Health. And the reality is:
change only happens when enough people demand it.
If you believe British Columbians with RRMS deserve the same access to life-changing medications that patients receive everywhere else in Canada, then I’m asking for one more step ..from my heart..
please take 60 seconds and send an email to our leaders.
BC is the only province that has not provided public coverage for these essential RRMS treatments - Ocrevus & Kesimpta, despite the fact that other provinces, medical providers & teams see this as necessary.
The gap is unfair. And it’s hurting people.
You don’t need to have MS to support this.
You just need to care that people are being left behind & those who are battling MS daily - we need your voices too - ALL of them ❤️
I’ve created a simple copy-and-paste email below. Even sending ONE message helps.
And if you can share this post too… it multiplies our voice. It takes people 3–7 times of seeing something before they act — so every share truly matters.
I have also added where you can go to look up emails for your local MLA’s & MP’s if you so choose to take it even farther.
Thank you for standing with me.
Thank you for standing with all of us. ❤️

Subject: Please Support Fair Access to RRMS Medications in BC
Dear Premier Eby, Minister Osborne, and Local Representatives,
I am writing in support of the ongoing call for fair and equal access to RRMS medications in British Columbia.
Currently, essential MS treatments like Ocrevus and Kesimpta are covered publicly across every other province in Canada — yet British Columbians who rely on public BC PharmaCare are still being denied access.
This creates a serious and unfair health disparity, especially given that the Government of BC’s own private Canada Life plan already has coverage for these same medications for their public service employees.
For a disease that affects the brain, spine, and central nervous system — and can lead to permanent disability — timely treatment is critical. No patient should be left fighting for access that every other Canadian can receive.
I respectfully ask that you review and update BC PharmaCare criteria to ensure RRMS patients in BC receive the same access to treatments available in the rest of Canada.
Thank you for taking this seriously. This matters to thousands of British Columbians.
Sincerely,
