Mandy’s “Did You Know?” – #3
Written by Ann Pietrangelo on October 4th, 2007 in General.
Gender Differences in MS
- Did you know that multiple sclerosis effects twice as many women as men?
- That MS does not hinder the ability to become pregnant or bear children?
- That MS symptoms are often improved during pregnancy?
- Did you know that people diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis are disproportionately male?
- The jury is still out on exactly why these things are true and the key is in research.
When donating to the multiple sclerosis charity of your choice, be aware that you may specify that your donation be used for research purposes.

You can now play an online game for MS. For a $15 tax-deductible donation you can support MS research and potentially win up to $5,000 in prizes.
MS receives 90 cents back on the dollar from every donation, most charitable events only return 30-50 cents of every dollar raised back to the charity.
We have a goal to raise $50,000 by December 28, 2007 for MS.
