MS Awareness Month
May is MS Awareness Month
in Canada. Since the late 1970s, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of
Canada has marked the month of May as MS Awareness Month. During May,
MS Society volunteers and staff carry out numerous public awareness
activities both nationally and locally. Numerous cities and towns
proclaim May as MS Awareness Month, and many MS Society chapters honour
outstanding women with MS as MS Mothers of the Year.
In May, the MS Society
is also in the midst of its spring fund raising season. The MS Carnation
Campaign, held just before Mother's Day, enables Canadians to help
fund MS research and services by buying carnations from volunteers
in their local communities. In many parts of the country, the popular
Super Cities WALK for MS and residential campaigns are also underway.
For more information,
contact the nearest division office by calling 1 800 268-7582
or call the media contact listed.
