National MS Society launches We Keep Moving campaign to capture stories of people living with MS

Feb 15 2010

For every person living with and affected by MS there is a unique story about how they move forward with their lives.  That is why the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is launching We Keep Moving, a viewer-driven reality campaign that will capture these stories and perspectives through online videos that chronicle how people across the country keep moving forward while living with MS.  

Tell your story today!

Starting today through February 26, people living with and affected by MS are invited to submit a story at www.wekeepmoving.org for consideration. The program aims to not only share the stories of people living with MS -- a chronic illness whose symptoms can come and go without warning -- but also caregivers, families, loved ones and those who raise funds for the cause.

Online Viewers Will Drive the Reality Campaign

A committee that includes people living with MS will review all story submissions to select the finalists. For ten weeks beginning March 9, finalist stories will be shared at the program's Web site, where the public will vote to decide which story will be filmed and where our road crew will travel next on this cross-country journey.  

The road crew is made up of three creative professionals whose lives share a common bond: all of them are living with MS and are on their own journeys to share what it means to live with a disease whose hallmark is unpredictability.  To learn more about these three individuals, visit www.wekeepmoving.org.

The We Keep Moving Web site and videos are supported in part by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation.
