March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month- and to bring awareness we are wearing ORANGE on Wednesday, 3/22!
MS is a condition that affects your brain and spinal cord. In MS, the coating that protects your nerves is damaged and this causes a wide range of symptoms and problems with how we move, think and feel.
We invite EVERYONE to join HBR & Marci's Stampede on May 7 at 10:00 for the Walk to Wipe MS OUT! Marci Viland is an HBR mom, author, volunteer and community member. Show your support and join us in wearing ORANGE on 3/22!
