I’ve been involved, over the years, with number of awareness raising days and events.

And I ask myself do they have any effect? (Actually to be fair it must work as I was targeted by people who hate people with autism on World Autism Day and this blog was brought down for most of the day by a DDoS attack – so somebody must notice.)

Yesterday was many of us in the multiple sclerosis community will know was World MS Day. Run every year it is full on great ideas and real commitment from its supports.

Burt what is the upshot of all this hard work?

Can I be honest and say not much from where I am typing? Sure with in the MS community we take note but outside I don’t think much. I mean treatments get approved slowly but everyone thinks you are drink when you fall over. Which strikes me as not much change!

So over to you. What do you think?

Did World MS day meet its objectives?

How would you raise multiple sclerosis awareness.
