It’s MS Awareness Month

There are many things we can (and most of us do) to contribute everday. This month its Multiple Sclerosis.

There are walks, volunteer options, and donations. Everything has a different purpose and every part helps! Information on different opportunities is available here: http://mssociety.ca/en/.

For example, a friend of mine Adam Barefoot is entering a walk and can really use our support. More information on the walk is available here and Adam’s link for the walk is available here.

Here is the post from his wall (Facebook):
