Sincerely,
Your Saskatchewan Blue Cross MS Walk Fundraising team
-
Thank you for your dedication to the MS Society. You play an
integral role in the fight to end MS; you are an inspiration for
other fundraisers, and a leader within the MS Walk community. We
truly appreciate your effort and commitment to the cause.
Take a moment to acknowledge your part in the difference being
made for people living with MS in Saskatchewan. Provincially,
nearly $1.2 million dollars was raised in Saskatchewan in 2017! Of
this collective total $552,000 was raised with the Saskatchewan
Blue Cross MS Walk! The money you raised helps to support and
enhance the quality of our fitness programs, support groups,
educational services, and world leading Canadian MS research.
Last year we saw exciting research developments like the
discovery that an oral acne medication called Minocycline can
reduce the occurrence of further disease activity in people who
have experienced an initial attack of MS symptoms and who are at
high risk of progressing to definite MS. The MS Society funded this
clinical trial nearly 10 years ago and it is exciting that results
of this trial have proven successful and now provides those
experiencing their first clinical demyelinating event an effective
low-cost treatment that reduces the likelihood of developing
clinically definitive MS. This is also another testament to the
fact that excellent, ethical research can take a great deal of time
and resources to concretely prove scientific benefit. In addition
to clinical and biological research, the MS Society also funds
innovative wellness based research projects. In 2017, Saskatchewan
based researchers, Dr. Charity Evans and Dr. Katherine Knox began
conducting two different wellness research projects. Dr. Charity
Evans is studying the impact of Pilates in multiple sclerosis,
while Dr. Katherine Knox is addressing the gap in access to
facilities for physical activity by creating a web-based
physiotherapy program.
As fundraisers, your dedication, generosity, and efforts
continue to make these milestones possible. Thank you!
Each small step you take in the Walk makes a big difference;
without you, we wouldn’t be able to keep doing the work we do for
the MS community. Please help the MS Society continue to provide
hope, outstanding research funding, and support to those living
with MS in Saskatchewan and across Canada.
Together we will end MS
