mrs. romney has battled multiple sclerosis for 16 years, the facility will focus on finding cures for alzheimer'sls, parkinson's, and brain tumors. she sat down to talk about her role as an advocate. >> did you ever imagine that you would step forward as an advocate? >> never. i'm going to get emotional about that. never. i never would have imagined myself being in a position to have that impact? >> why not? >> i just think of myself as a little girl who grew up and rides a horse. now i'm a mommy and i have a voice. i want that voice to be a voice of compassion. >> mitt romney wrote, quote, from one of the wounded, you have become one of the warriors. i could not be more proud of the 15-year-old girl i fell in love with almost 50 years ago. along with this heart-warming photograph. the romneys have personally donated to the research center themselves and hope to raise another $50 million. the center is set up to open in 2016. >> mitt romney and i don't agree politically and i was tough on him during his campaign for president, especially on issues of wealth. his comments on income and equality an
