March is MS Awareness Month – “Orange Out Ohio” on March 7 March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month in the State of Ohio and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is asking people to show their support by wearing orange on Monday, March 7. The goal is to “Orange Out Ohio” to raise awareness about multiple sclerosis, a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that causes unpredictable symptoms, ranging from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. Everyone is encouraged to take pictures wearing their orange apparel and to post those pictures on social media, using the #OrangeOutOhio hashtag. People are also encouraged to visit MSconnection.org. The website is an online community that provides an opportunity for people to get involved with the MS movement, to gain accurate information and to discover valuable resources. Visitors to the website can learn about topics that are important to them, find expert opinions and start group discussions. Information is also available about advocacy, research and events like Walk MS and Bike MS. In Cleveland, the Walk MS event is set for April 16 at the Galleria. Bike MS Buckeye Breakaway, the new name for Pedal to the Point, is a two-day cycling adventure scheduled for August 6-7, starting at Brunswick High School.
