World MS Day – 1 week to go
In Palestine, a full programme of events includes a meeting with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health to discuss the issues faced by people with MS.
In Morocco, media interest has been high and the Society has been invited to participate in a special edition of a popular television show called “Ask the Doctor”. The focus of this episode will be MS.
In the USA, the NMSS has launched a text-to-give campaign to enable supporters to donate at any time of the day or night. Individual supporters, like Scott from Ohio, will be raising awareness of MS in their local communities by wearing a World MS Day T-shirt and talking to friends, family and colleagues about the disease.
