Importance of MS awareness and advocacy
This week, The National MS Society shines a spotlight on stories of people living with Multiple Sclerosis to raise awareness every day during MS Awareness Week in the US. This year, it’s scheduled for March 12–19, 2023, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS).
“We won’t stop until the moment we’ve all been hoping for and working toward — when we cure MS for every person living with this disease.” The theme for MS Awareness Week is “My MS Moment,” where stories of life with MS will be told through the everyday moments people with MS experience.
Promising avenues for future MS research
There is always more we can do to bring attention to MS, share the knowledge you have about new research or treatments, talk about alternative therapies for symptoms or activities you enjoy, or perhaps attend an event taking place in your area. There are many MS Walks taking place around the world see some of the events on the National MS Society’s FB Event Page.
Supporting a loved one with MS
We encourage you to post on social media this week to add to the momentum by sharing your MS story in support of yourself, a friend, or a family member!
There are lots of ways to support those affected by MS, not just during MS Awareness week but every day! Whether you are living with a diagnosis or supporting someone with MS, we encourage you to lend support to one of the many initiatives that aim to raise awareness every day!
If you are an employer, there are simple ways you can support staff with MS or other conditions by ensuring both an accessible and productive workspace. There are several resources to assist you in accommodating and retaining talented individuals with different needs in your workplace.
