Pol Light Moment #105 was on October 14, 2014, when Ann Romney announced the formation of the Ann Romney Center for Neurological Diseases. Ann Romney was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 1998 and is the wife of Mitt Romney who has served as the Governor of Massachusetts and ran for President in 2012.

The Ann Romney Center for Neurological Diseases will be at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) in Boston Massachusetts and will help treat patients who have a variety of neurological conditions multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's disease, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), Parkinson's disease, and brain tumors. Treatment and global collaboration in research are also goals of the Ann Romney Center. Mitt and Ann Romney have also given an undisclosed monetary gift to start the fundraising for the Ann Romney Center for Neurological Diseases.
