“Our two oldest went to college before my husband died, but Katy wasn’t even considering it because she knew we couldn’t afford it. Then, suddenly, it seemed the MS Society was there right beside me, making it possible for my children to pursue their education. Those scholarships made all the difference in allowing them to make the decision to go to college.”Stephanie Search, mother of three MS Scholarship recipients

The Chapter’s fiscal year begins Oct. 1 and ends Sept. 30

to local physicians, community groups, other nonprofits, etc., to effect changes in significant issues such as housing and long-term care. We also

welcome volunteers to serve in many other capacities – MS activists to advocate for changes in public policy, self-help group leaders, telephone mentors, office assistants and more. To learn more, go to www.MSwashington.org and click on Volunteer.

2 TELL SOMEONE you know who has MS about the many Chapter programs available to help make their life easier. For an up-to-the-minute list of all our programs, go to www.MSwashington.org and click on Programs and

Services and then Chapter Calendar.

3 RESOLVE to get in shape in the New Year and start training early for next fall’s two-day Bike MS Ride. Ask your colleagues at work to ride with you (commuting by bike is great for the environment and for physical fitness!)

and form a Bike MS team. Learn more at www.MSwashington.org.

4 COMMIT to a “family and friends” team for this spring’s Walk MS. Online tools make it easier than ever to recruit, inspire and support team members. Learn more at www.MSwashington.org.

5 DONATE. Make a gift to the Chapter in honor of friends on their birthdays, in memory of loved ones, or simply to support the MS Movement! Go online at www.MSwashington.org and click on Donate.

Your donation makes a real difference!$200 pays for local exercise classes, a health and wellness seminar, or other fitness activities to help someone with MS feel better and live healthier

$500 sends a child who has a parent with MS to Kids Journey Camp

$1,000 provides five families with personalized service from a care manager to help them navigate the day-to-day challenges of MS

$1,500 provides one month of prescription assistance for a person to obtain a year’s worth of an FDA-approved disease-modifying therapy

$2,000 supports the latest research efforts into new treatments and a cure

$3,000 funds a college scholar-ship for a student who has MS or whose parent has MS

Every single dollar brings us that much closer to a world free of MS!
