Proclamation
"MS Awareness Month"

May 2004

WHEREAS: there is no known cause or cure for multiple sclerosis, a chronic, often disabling, neurological disease that affects more than 50,000 Canadians; and
WHEREAS: the symptoms of this disease vary widely and can lead to problems with numbness, co-ordination, vision and speech, as well as extreme fatigue and even paralysis; and
WHEREAS: the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada was founded in 1948 and is the only national voluntary organization that supports both research and services for people afflicted with MS and their families; and
WHEREAS: over the past 51 years, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada has provided more than $64 million for research, and a wide range of services that are made possible because of dedicated volunteers and supporters.
NOW,
THEREFORE: I, Mayor David Miller, on behalf of Toronto City Council, do hereby proclaim May 2004 as "MS Awareness Month" in the City of Toronto and encourage everyone to support this important annual fundraising campaign.

[Signed Mayor David Miller]
