Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA) is appealing to members within the MS community to email us your story in the next two weeks. As the national volunteer director, I am spearheading this volunteer appeal.

You may have recently received an email from my colleague John Masino informing you that we have a new web address, www.MSAssociation.org there will be some exciting additions to the MSAA web site shortly that will also include the ability to share motivational stories, including those where the programs and services provided by MSAA have enriched the quality of life.

MSAA has an immediate need to request submission of stories to us directly to support this presence on the MSAssociation.org web page.

I do hope that you will consider responding to this voluntary appeal. Photographs to support your stories are most welcome.

Attached to this email is a release form in Microsoft Word format.

Please complete and return this release form with your story and photographic images to me directly at mfriend@msassociation.org

Should you wish to speak to me directly on this matter please call 1-800-532-7667 ext 117.

Thank you for your kind time and attention to this request from MSAA.

Kind regards

Malcolm Friend
