March 8-14 is National MS Awareness Week—“Move It” Campaign Strives to End Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a slow-progressing functional disease of the central nervous system. According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, MS affects approximately 400,000 Americans and is a leading cause of neurological disability.
This week, March 8-14, the National MS Society is helping to raise national awareness about MS through its “Move It” Campaign of events. There are “move-it” walk-a-thons and bicycling events planned all across the country as well as advocacy initiatives to raise funds and gain support for MS research.
People with MS and others are encouraged to “move it” this week and join the campaign’s mission to create a “world free of MS.”
