Landmarks that changed colour on World MS Day

2016 Independence
There are many ways to mark World MS Day, and the MS community loves to organise varied events: from information stalls and talks on the latest research, to races and karaoke!

There’s something really special about seeing famous landmarks lit up for World MS Day. Perhaps it is because, as the MS Society of Canada says, it helps people with MS to look up and know that they’re not alone. Seeing different places all over the world (from Canada to Uruguay or Scotland) lit up for World MS Day fills us up with happiness.

We have selected some of our favourites photos so far!
