MS Awareness Month

May is MS Awareness Month in Canada. Across the country, our collective aim is to increase awareness about multiple sclerosis among the general public; to promote the MS Society of Canada’s brand, services and mission; and to inspire new and existing supporters to become engaged with our efforts to end MS.

The MS Society of Canada is also a Multiple Sclerosis International Federation (MSIF) member and is pleased to support and promote World MS Day on Wednesday, May 26, 2010.  The objectives of the World MS Day are to raise awareness; and to unite, broaden and mobilize the global MS movement.

In addition to public awareness activities, the MS Society is also in the midst of its spring fundraising season in May. The MS Carnation Campaign, held just before Mother's Day, funds MS research and services through the sale of carnations by community volunteers. In many parts of the country, MS Walks are also underway.

Contact the nearest division office for more information by calling 1 800 268-7582 or call your regional media contact.
