We are all Champions against MS! The MS Walk has raised over $825,000 and we thank YOU for getting your family, friends and co-workers together to support you by donating, walking or volunteering. Every dollar, mile walked and time donated is more valuable every day as we continue to fight MS and support those who live in our community. How can you continue support us? Spread the word…words are more powerful today more than ever and with just a status change or tweet, you can let the world know how multiple sclerosis affects family, friends and YOU! Do you still have donations for the walk? You can mail it to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society office (address on the back of this newsletter) or you can have your loved ones donate to you online until September 30, 2013. 3201 W.

A Special THANK YOU to all the Committee Members that have deicated their time and passion in making the 2013 MS Walk a Success! Studies show that early and ongoing treatment with an FDA-approved therapy can reduce future disease activity and improve quality of life for many people with multiple sclerosis. The National MS Society’s medical advisors recommend that people with MS talk with their health care professionals about using these medications and about effective strategies and treatments to manage symptoms. If you or someone you know has MS, please contact the National MS Society at www.nationalmssociety.org or 1 800 FIGHT MS (800-344-4867) to learn more.
