May is MS Awareness Month in Canada. Since the late 1970s, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada has marked the month of May as MS Awareness Month. During May, MS Society volunteers and staff carry out numerous public awareness activities both nationally and locally. Numerous cities and towns proclaim May as MS Awareness Month, and many MS Society chapters honour outstanding women with MS as MS Mothers of the Year.

In May, the MS Society is also in the midst of its spring fund raising season. The MS Carnation Campaign, held just before Mother's Day, enables Canadians to help fund MS research and services by buying carnations from volunteers in their local communities. In many parts of the country, the popular Super Cities WALK for MS and residential campaigns are also underway.

For more information, contact the nearest division office by calling 1 800 268-7582 or call the media contact listed.

MS can start early. Most often diagnosed in young adults, MS is found in children as young as three.

MS hits home. Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world.

Typi non habent claritatem insitam; est usus legentis in iis qui facit eorum claritatem. Investigationes demonstraverunt lectores legere me lius quod ii legunt saepius. Claritas est etiam processus dynamicus, qui sequitur mutationem consuetudium lectorum. Mirum est notare quam littera gothica, quam nunc putamus parum claram, anteposuerit litterarum formas humanitatis per seacula quarta decima et quinta decima. Eodem modo typi, qui nunc nobis videntur parum clari, fiant sollemnes in futurum.
