Celebrate Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week March 12-18
with the Indiana State Chapter
Multiple sclerosis destroys connections inside us. It disconnects the mind from the body and people from each other. But what if we could forge connections that MS couldn't destroy? MS Kills Connection > < Connection Kills MS is a new awareness campaign that the National Multiple Sclerosis Society has established as a rallying cry for everyone who is a part of the MS community. The campaign is launching in conjunction with MS Awareness Week, March 12 - 18, to give everyone who cares about the disease the chance to connect with others and share what they know.
Share What You Know - MSconnection.org
What if everyone who cared about MS could join together in one place? Maybe, by connecting all of our knowledge, hope and experience, we can gain a new understanding of how to move forward. To help facilitate these connections within the MS community, the National MS Society is launching a new, secure online community - MS Connection - on March 12 to coincide with MS Awareness Week.
Starting March 23, all those who are part of the MS Movement will be able to make meaningful connections - with easy access to the best resources the MS community can bring them. What makes this online community different from other social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter? MS Connection will have an expanded search capacity, allowing you to connect with others like you. In addition, MS Connection gives you additional privacy options, so you can go by yoru first name only or stay anonymous.
Visit www.MSconnection.org to learn more and share what you know!
