NEW YORK – Tennis legend Monica Seles is channeling her trademark fighting spirit into a new battle, this time off the court. The nine-time Grand Slam champion has revealed her diagnosis of myasthenia gravis (MG), a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease, and is launching a new campaign to raise awareness for the condition.
Seles, who was diagnosed three years ago, has partnered with the Dutch immunology company argenx on the “Go for Greater” campaign. The initiative aims to educate the public about MG, which is often characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness and fatigue. The disease can affect anyone, but it most commonly impacts young women and older men.
Through her public platform, Seles is bringing a much-needed spotlight to the often-misunderstood illness. Her involvement seeks to empower others living with the condition and encourage a greater understanding of its challenges. This new role as an advocate marks a significant new chapter for the champion, who continues to inspire with her resilience and determination.
