MS Band of Hope raising "aWEARness"

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society launched its red MS Band of Hope in response to chapter, client, and volunteer desires to have a unifying, easily identifiable symbol for the MS cause and the Society. The National MS Society is all about hope for people with MS, so "hope" on the band was a natural message, and as the Society's colors are red and slate gray, red was the logical color for the bracelet. The Society also offers an iridescent ribbon of hope pin, which represents the unpredictable multi-changing facets of the disease, and a car magnet, so that people allied with the MS cause and the Society have a variety of means to express their support.

People who want to raise awareness and make a difference in the fight against MS can purchase the Society's red MS Band of Hope online at MS Band Of Hope. Bands are $1 each and are sold in packs of 10. Supporters can also check with their area chapter to find out where the MS Band of Hope is available locally.
