MY MS FAMILY Flag Raising Events
The York Region MY MS FAMILY Chapter holds several flag raising events throughout York Region to build awareness and reach out to the citizens of York Region and surrounding areas to help and support those living with MS. The MS Flag, flying high at the city halls will be a beacon that we are here to raise awareness and much need funds to find a CURE for this debilitating disease. We will tear down barriers, build bridges, and to deliver hope and encouragement to all citizens’ living with MS.
Let me give you a brief update on where we are today. The York Region MY MS FAMILY Chapter consists of over 350 members living with MS and many more including their family members. Multiple Sclerosis is not an individual disease. MS also affects the family and friends of those affected by MS. Therefore our membership exceeds thousands. Our focus is to help our members with accessibility needs as well their emotional and financial needs. We need the help and support from the various municipalities. You have heard it takes a village to raise a child. What does it take to raise a community? It takes an organization and a city with dedicated citizens to help those in need. This is the reason why we raise the MY MS FAMILY Flag in these cities: Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham. We are very proud to be associated with such a forward thinking compassionate and consciences communities.
