Help Our Team in the Fight Against MS!
The number of people living with multiple sclerosis increases every hour of every day. This astonishing rate is not going to slow down, let alone stop, until we've found a cure. Research has made some incredible advances recently, but the world can still only offer disease management drugs and therapies to the 400,000 people living with MS in America. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society funds more MS research than any other private organization. In addition to supporting studies which hope to reveal the cause and course of the disease, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society also provides much needed education, programs, and services to everyone who is affected by MS - including the diagnosed, their friends and families, and the healthcare professionals who work with them. We've formed a team for the MS Walk because we were a group of U2 fans who had originally come down for U2's April 8, 2006 concert. When that concert was rescheduled, we still decided to do the walk because we wanted to do something worthwhile even without the concert. Many of us are inspired by the band's humanitarian efforts and by the music itself, while others are just inspired to help other people. After our participation last year, we wanted to continue our support of the local Hawaii MS chapter this year. Even without any concert to draw us together, we still are connected by our desire to help improve the world around us. Join our team as a walker or a volunteer! Make a donation online!
