November is National Care Partner Appreciation Month.
Whether you care for or care about someone with MS, it can be both rewarding and exhausting. Partners, family and friends can be drawn closer by meeting the challenges together. In honor of these exceptional people, November has been designated National Care Partner Appreciation month. The chapter would like to help you thank your special care partner by sending a coffee mug full of treats along with a letter from you! Please write a letter addressed to your care partner thanking them for what he/she has done for you. Limit one per family. Mugs will be sent out in November. Send your letter with the name and address of your care partner to the National MS Society, 3101 Industrial Drive, Suite 210, Raleigh, NC 27609 by November 30th.
