Multiple Sclerosis (MS) affects the central nervous
system and debilitates people in many ways. It’s an
unpredictable disease, usually diagnosed between the
ages of 20 and 40, when career and family responsibilities
are at their highest. Come learn about opportunities for
Rotarians to help change the course of history, not just
for people with MS, but for future generations.
