Fall is almost here! As we get ready to host some of our annual fundraising events, such as Challenge Walk MS and the Bike MS Bay to Bay Tour, we are happy to highlight the one year anniversary of Boys Night Out! We have a multitiude of fun, bonding events this fall, but you can also take a look at clinical trial recruitment or the Calendar of Events sidebar for more upcoming programs.
Join Us for a Boys Night Out!
During the past year, our Boys' Night Out Committee successfully planned four guys-only social events. We are thrilled to celebrate our one year anniversary of this exciting program where new friends are made, delicious dinners are eaten, and interesting conversations are had. Dynamic guest speakers included Chapter President Rich Israel and Eric Stuhr, owner and physical therapist at Healthy Balance. We invite all men affected by MS, including male caregivers of individuals living with MS, to come be a part of this fun get-together.
Be sure to RSVP for this free event! The next meeting is Thursday, September 8, from 6-9pm at Irons in the Fire in San Clemente.
Clinical trials help to determine if a drug is safe and effective for people with MS. People with MS who are willing to volunteer in these studies make it possible for all of us to look forward to new and better therapies.
