Most days Terri  gets up and gets ready for work. But a couple of days a tear there is a difference to her routine. Those days she adds an orange patterned tie to her outfit. Why? Because she is taking part in Tie One on for Multiple Sclerosis.

Tie One on for Multiple Sclerosis is a bottom up initiative by people in the MS community to raise awareness by wearing an orange tie on a particular day. As Terri said she got involved because “It looked like a fun way to raise awareness”. Not just that she was able to speak with friends , family and clients about multiple sclerosis. There reaction was as she said ” Really positive. They asked questions and gave me an opportunity to explain MS. I work in the public so I see like 500 peeps a day, so a good conversation starter. ”

In the first year she took part other co-workers wore orange ties as you can see in the picture above.

So why is Terri sharing her story? Well with the success of the last three Tie One on for Multiple Sclerosis days Sara (the organiser) has asked us to promote the next event. This will take place on 30th May 2019 and you can sign up for the event here. Please do invite all your friends and family to take part.

Finally, if you have taken part in Tie One on for Multiple Sclerosis before, please do consider send us a selfie so we can put it on the blog. Send to patienttalkblog@gmail.com
