MS Awareness month 2018 in Prince George

Whola cow, what a year this year.  Our Facebook Group page has grown fast, with 31 members as I type so far and gathering MS'ers around the city.  Tomorrow, the MS Walk will happen in Prince George on May 27th, 2018, you still have time to register!  Several members of the Prince George community were involved in the planning and event preparation.  It was very cool to see the energy a group of MS Affected individuals can do collectively that will be displayed on May 27th, 2018.  To cap off that evening, Mr. PG which is located at the crossroads of British Columbia Canada, will be lit in Red starting that evening till the 31st.  This will be for a couple of reasons.  One, it will be symbolic to the world that passes and the contacts who will see the pictures they post.  They will know the unique relationship that exists in Northern BC Life with MS.  We have a "partnership" of sorts between the medical support at Northern Health's MS Clinic at UHNBC (toll free number 1-888-967-6774), through the individual communities where MS lives in Northern BC and the Yukon.  They are connected to the MS Society of Canada's Northern Regional Chapter which is connected to the same communities.  Those two sides are symbiotic with the collective community of affected persons in those communities connected through this connection, which includes staff and volunteers of the society and the clinic in those respective Northern communities where they live and work.  It can be represented as a triangle of support.  We all know our places in the Global community and that is one aim of Mr. PG's color display as May 30th is World MS day! Another aim of the lightup is to commemorate the end of Canadain MS Awareness month 2018 in Prince George.
