Move it during MS Awareness Week
March 2-8, 2009
Mark your calendars and get ready to move us closer to a world free of MS. March 2-8 is MS Awareness Week, a great opportunity to spread the word and raise awareness for MS.
This year’s theme is Move it. It’s all about encouraging people to move to end MS – whether you volunteer, bike, walk, advocate, educate, support – every action is a demonstration of your commitment to the MS movement and helps motivate the potentially millions of people who want to -- and can -- do something about MS now.
As our plans for MS Awareness Week develop, we’ll post them here. Check back to learn how you can be a part of MS Awareness Week and encourage others to move it too.
You also can visit the Society’s national site at nationalMSsociety.org to find ways to build the MS movement through actions such as posting your own story, downloading Web banners and more.
Remember to Move it during MS Awareness Week!
MS Awareness Week highlights
Over 60 people affected by MS made their collective mark against MS at New Jersey Lobby Day on March 5 at the State House in Trenton.
Not only did the group take part in workshops about the business of advocacy and directly discuss the issues facing people living with MS with members of the assembly, it also witnessed the passage of a resolution on the assembly floor recognizing MS Awareness Week.
