Join the Global Movement. End MS!
Be a part of the first worldwide MS awareness day!
More than two million people across the world live with MS.
This year, for the first time, more than 100 MS organizations around the globe are taking part in World MS Day on May 27, 2009.
In the United States, with the opportunity for health care reform a real possibility, the Society is asking all supporters of the MS movement to contact their federal legislators on World MS Day and voice support for comprehensive and accessible health care coverage that includes the Society’s Health Care Reform Principles.
“There must be quality and affordable healthcare to ensure that all people with MS can lead a life of possibility, dignity and fulfillment,” said Joyce Nelson, President and CEO of the National MS Society. “On World MS Day, Americans can do their part by showing their support for national health care reform.”
