HELP SUPPORT MS SOCIETY

MS Society of Canada Virtual Bike event July 25 & 26

Jul 2, 2020 | 6:25 AM

TORONTO- This week, Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast will connect as one to celebrate Canada Day.

For the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, this unity highlights the work of those who have come together to support Canadians living with MS.

Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world. Over the past few months, the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis has impacted all Canadians. For Canadians living with MS, it presents additional concerns on top of an already unpredictable disease. Canadians affected by MS face challenges including financial difficulties and barriers in accessing appropriate care supports. COVID-19 only intensifies these circumstances and adds stress to both physical and mental health for a vulnerable population.

Typically, the MS Society of Canada and the MS community come together each summer to hold a series of MS fundraising events across the country, in an effort to help bring Canada closer to a world free of MS. In the face of a global pandemic, gathering in-person to show support for those affected by MS will not be possible — but there are still ways to take part.

Join thousands of Canadians that have connected online through the #WeChallengeMS campaign and consider taking part in the Virtual MS Bike on July 25 and 26 to raise vital funds for Canadians affected by MS.
