The Mission of The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada
Like other organizations, The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada has a mission statement – “to be a leader in finding a cure for multiple sclerosis and enabling people affected by MS to enhance their quality of life.” They have many different ways of doing this. To start with, they hold special events. These events are usually fundraisers that will help with research programs in Canada and also special programs in Canada that serve the public that is afflicted with multiple sclerosis, such as meal delivery services, financial assistance programs, self-help groups, and more.
Some of the well-known special events that The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada is known for are the MS Walk and the RONA MS Bike Tour.
