ANC Professional Network Sponsors Armenians in the Annual MS Walk In partnership with: National MS Society Sunday April 18, 2010 10:00 am, Pasadena Rose Bowl Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. MS affects hundreds of thousands of people across the United States , many of them Armenian. MS is a debilitating disease that gets its victims at the prime of their life and not only affects them, but their families as well. No one is more passionate about ending multiple sclerosis than those who live with the unpredictable effects of the disease each and every day. But passion alone won’t end MS — action will. That’s why, this year, we call on everyone to put their passion into action and join the movement. Register now for Walk MS this Sunday, April 18 at the Rose Bowl. If not you, then who? The National MS Society organizes a walk-a-thon each year to help raise money and awareness to help cure MS. The ANC-PN will be sponsoring each Armenian walker to join the movement at “Walk MS” by giving them an ANC-PN Water Bottle and $20 toward their walk to help bring us one step closer to a world free of MS. Come and join the movement in Pasadena this weekend. To register for the Walk, visit http://walkcal.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR?fr_id=13066&pg=entry and enter TEAM MEGA to join your fellow Armenians and 5,000 Southern Californians as we raise awareness and funds to find the cause and cure to multiple sclerosis. You will enjoy a beautiful 5K walk, roll or stroll around the Rose Bowl and finish at a festival with food, music, jugglers, face painters, team booth and fund give-a-ways.   Pasadena Rose Bowl, Pasadena For more information email or call:  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
