'MS Awareness Week' March 11–17 | Events

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) - Multiple sclerosis is a life altering disease that affects each person in a unique way. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society and those living with MS in the Gateway Area Chapter are connecting with people across the nation during MS Awareness Week, March 11-17 to make their connections count. 

This MS Awareness Week and beyond, find the power of connection and visit www.MSconnection.org.  Just some of the opportunities you will find are:

• Every Connection Counts - share your story and connect with others at www.MSconnection.org. You can learn more about MS, upload your own photo and connection to share with others, download tools to spread MS awareness, or register to participate in Walk MS or Bike MS or another event near you. Whether you volunteer, bike, walk, advocate, educate, or support – every connection you create moves us closer to a world free of MS and shows your commitment to the MS movement.  

• MS Connection – an online community for making meaningful connections – when, where and how you want.  Visitors and members will learn about topics that are important to them, connect with others in the MS movement, find expert MS information and opinions at their fingertips, and join or start groups and discussions of their own.

• Other Opportunities to Connect – You can build connections, view and share images, video, and stories about your connections on the Society’s Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/nationalMSsociety.  If you tweet you can spread the word using the #MSconnection hash tag.

The Society is dedicated to achieving a world free of MS. Join the movement at www.nationalMSsociety.org.
