Every March, MS Awareness Month gives us a chance to bring multiple sclerosis to the forefront, to help advocate for people and families living with MS every day, and to educate the public. After a year that’s changed so many parts of our daily routines, we’re dedicating the month to helping foster greater connections and giving back to our MS Community.
How Can You Help?
SPREAD AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING: MS is often an “invisible” disease. We’ve put together basic MS information for patients and families living with MS, to help them share the facts about MS with loved ones, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and anyone else who may not have a great understanding of what it means to live with MS. Visit MSCenter.org/awareness to find our “MS: The Basics” information to share, download or print for your personal use.
SEND A MESSAGE OF SUPPORT: Join us in sending a brief message of support to other members of our extended MS family! We’ve created a simple Google form where you can send a message to KADEP clients and staff, the clinical staff and doctors at the Rocky Mountain MS Center at University of Colorado, or a general message to others in our MS Community. Find a link to the form at MSCenter.org/awareness.
GIVE BACK: It’s been a trying year for so many of us, and the MS Center itself is no exception. Your support will go a long way toward helping us continue to deliver the programs and services our MS Community relies on during good times and bad.
