What is World MS Day?

World MS Day is a yearly international event on May 30^th, with the goal of creating awareness for the disease multiple sclerosis. During the entire month of May several events are organized to raise attention for MS. The theme this year is ‘Movement & Mobility’, which is why they are organizing mobility scooter, walking and cycling tours throughout the country for our members and other interested parties. Their activities are organized by the regional team of the MS Vereniging Nederland, who create an awareness of the association and its activities.
