May 28th is World MS Day (Multiple Sclerosis)

Multiple sclerosis and the MS movement – everyone engaged in addressing the challenges of MS today while moving toward long-term solutions for tomorrow – become better known each year. But more must be done.

Every connection counts when it comes to increasing awareness and support of our cause. Every individual we connect with personally, every letter we write to an elected official, every person in our Facebook network, every poster we put up, every dollar we raise, every video viewed – each connection has the opportunity to change the world for people affected by MS.

World MS Day unites MS organizations globally and raises awareness of multiple sclerosis and those living with MS to improve public understanding and support that will move us closer a world free of MS.

The theme for World MS Day 2014 is ‘”access”. Whether it is access to health care, support, work or educational opportunities, there are many barriers to access which people living with MS face in their everyday lives. For World MS Day 2014, MS organizations across the globe are encouraging people to join together and share their “One Day” wishes about their lives with MS – aspirations about barriers to access being dismantled or overcome so people can live their best lives.
