The ultimate goal of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is to eradicate the world of MS. While this goal is a desirable one, it isn’t able to be achieved overnight. There are many steps involved with reaching this goal and it will take a collaborative effort from people of all walks of life. What the National MS Society is capable of doing is raising awareness of MS and help those who already have it.
Working on prevention of the disease and providing support for those recently diagnosed are on the list of things to do for the National MS Society. Staff members and volunteers concentrate on being a sounding board for those frustrated by the difficulty of daily living MS has created and getting even the smallest community involved. Caring individuals donate their precious time to host awareness events, fundraisers, and to assist in any way imaginable.
