MS Awareness Week is next week! Check out this special edition of the Chapter eNews to learn about the different opportunities available to help spread MS Awareness. Whether you want to get out and mix it up in your community or prefer to do something from the comfort of your home, there's at least one thing you can do to Join the Movement and help create a world free of multiple sclerosis.
Walk MS is the rallying point of a community coming together as we unite to create a world free of MS. There are plenty of ways to get involved in this event and be a part of the movement:
MS Champions Breakfast at Walk MS
Those living with MS (and up to three of their friends and family) are invited to enjoy a complimentary breakfast at one of the Walk locations (see sidebar right for dates and locations). You can enjoy just the breakfast or get out on the route too! Each location is 100% accessible with rest stops every mile, SAG support and wheelchair loan is available. To RSVP, visit MSwalk.com, select "Join as an Individual," choose your location and enter "breakfast" into the discount code box.
14th Annual Water Walk
Join us for a walk that happens in the water. Participants who are unable to attend one of our other Walk events, can participate in this fun event in San Diego with a group of individuals who participate in the chapter's Aquatic Excercise Program. For more information, contact Katie Freiert or join the team today!
People all over the nation are coming together to share, educate and build awareness about what multiple sclerosis means to them. Together, we are a powerful movement, working to create a world free of MS.
Will you share what MS equals to you?
The effort to spread MS awareness isn't just a weekly initiative. People affected by MS need support year-round. Consider joining the advocacy network and let your voice change lives.
One of the chapter's advocates, Frank Austin, contacted cities throughout San Diego and Orange counties to request proclamations for MS Awareness Week and received a resounding response! View the list of cities who have joined the movement.
