MS Views and News is proud to share the initiatives of the MS Foundation:
Join
Us for National MS Education and Awareness Month Activities
March is National MS
Education and Awareness Month, and MS Focus is gearing up to make it the
best one yet. Join us in learning, raising awareness, and building
support for people with MS in communities across the country. How can you
get involved?
Request
an Awareness Kit
Awareness kits contain
educational tools to help you live at your best with MS, as well as raise
awareness in your community during National MS Education and Awareness
Month. Inside each kit, you’ll find a toolkit with helpful, interesting
information addressing your needs as a person with MS. Also included is a
booklet appropriate for sharing with family members, healthcare workers,
media, and the community at large to help them become part of the MS
community. Like all MS Focus programs and services, the kits are offered
free of charge.
Each kit also includes
your orange MS awareness wristband, and other fun surprises just for
you!
