The National MS Society is made up of individuals who are passionate about making a real difference in the lives of those affected by multiple sclerosis. MS is a potentially debilitating disease that destroys the protective covers of your nerves, making communication between the brain and the rest of the body difficult, even impossible. There’s no cure for multiple sclerosis however treatments can help treat attacks and modify the course of the disease to allow a better quality of life for those with MS.
The National MS Society helps people affected by MS by funding cutting-edge research, driving change through advocacy, facilitating professional education, and providing programs and services that help people with MS and their families move their lives forward. With help from individuals like you and me, together with the National MS Society, persons with MS can have a better life.
Join TrainSignal Employees in Our Quest to Help Individuals with MS
Last year TrainSignal employees participated in the MS Walk 2010, here in the suburbs of Chicago. Our Director of Operations, Sandy Moran, and our Director of Product Development, Gary Eimerman along with their spouses and their dogs walked in the 2010 MS Walk at Harper College in Palatine, Illinois raising money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

3 Ways You Can Make a Difference
If you’ve been wanting to get involved in your community in a meaningful way and have promised yourself to try to make a difference this year, then this is the perfect opportunity.
The MS Walk is perfect for beginners since you can choose the distance you want to walk. If you can’t finish, that’s ok; transportation is provided to the finish line. You don’t have to know anyone with MS to participate and you don’t have to raise a specified amount of money. Do what you can and get out and take a walk for the cause!
Here are 3 ways you can get involved:
- Join us at the MS Walk 2011 in Palatine, Illinois on May 1st (details here)
- Help us raise money for the National MS Society (details here)
- Join or start a team in your area and get involved with the MS Society (details here)
We hope to see you walking on May 1st and showing your support for this great cause.
