19. Tamia
R&B singer and wife to NBA icon Grant Hill, Tamia was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in 2003 – the most common form of MS.
So far she is winning this very difficult fight with a rigorous diet, exercise and of course, medication. She said: “Well, I think the great thing for me is that I live in a house with an athlete. And Grant, if he’s already not, is going to be the oldest player in the NBA and he’s in tremendous shape.”
She has also been outspoken about the difficulties she has faced since diagnosed. According to her, it is all about tweaking, taking every day as it comes and doing all the little things to not let the disease take over her life.
