Register to join us next Tuesday, September 13 from 7 - 8:15 pm CST for this month's telelearning: Health Insurance: What Everyone Needs To Know.
The 2016 National MS Society and Can Do MS Webinar & Telelearning Series brings together a collaboration of MS experts to help you learn strategies to live your best life with MS. Recordings are available afterwards if you're unable to attend live.
LEND YOUR VOICE: TAKE THE MS MEDICATIONS SURVEY
It will take all of us to find solutions to make MS medications, and the process for getting them, affordable, simple, and transparent. The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) is currently conducting a review of disease-modifying therapies for relapsing-remitting and primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis. If you have MS, whether or not you are taking a disease-modifying therapy, and are over 21, lend your voice by taking this survey by September 14.
SHARE YOUR STORY: #KidsGetMSToo
MS doesn't just impact adults, and families affected by pediatric MS have a powerful story to share. If you have a child with MS or were diagnosed with MS as a child, please share your story in images, video and/or words on social media using #KidsGetMSToo. Follow the story on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Learn more about pediatric MS resources by visiting our website.

Join us October 8-9, 2016 for Bike MS: Dat's How We Roll, a two-day fundraising event that covers 150 miles through the beautiful countryside of Louisiana and Mississippi, beginning at
Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, Louisiana and riding north to
Percy Quin State Park in McComb, Mississippi. Our dedicated volunteers have
surveyed the 2016 route and determined it did not sustain flood damage and can
safely continue. We know that together, there is nothing that this community
can’t overcome, and with funds raised through this event, we will be able to
continue supporting communities in times of crisis and to help with the
unexpected challenges that come with living with MS. Be a part of Bike MS as a
cyclist, team captain, fundraiser or volunteer. Learn about the "I Ride
With MS" program or all the unique ways you can be a part of this extraordinary
weekend.
JOIN A NEW SELF-HELP GROUP
Self-help groups bring people together who share common life experiences for support, education and mutual aid. This month, Miss-Lou MS Self-Help Group launches, meeting the 2nd Thursday of each month in Ferriday, Louisiana. Learn about this group and others throughout Louisiana by vising our website.
