MSA - WORLD MSA DAY - Oct 3

Worldwide action: A Mile & A Candle for MSA
Worldwide action to be held on
the 3rd of October World MSA Day.
Miles or Km’s, all day long
Light a candle at 20:00 hrs / 8:00 p.m. for one hour local time
The population of the Earth is estimated to be 7.044.688.950 (as of June 1, 2012). Thismeans that statistically we can estimate that worldwide 347.635* people may be affectedwith MSA at this time. (*<5 cases per 100.000)
We want to have a candle lit for everyone that may be affected with MSA and for all thoseloved ones who have lost their battle in the past.
A Candle:
You can light your candle at home alone, or with friends and family, or during your localactivity that is planned for World MSA Day.
As candles are lit around the globe, a virtual 24-hour wave of light will be created as itmoves from time zone to time zone. Please light your candles at 20:00 hrs / 8 p.m. inyour local time zone for one hour.
The flame of the candles will unite family and friends all over the world and bringawareness to MSA. If you organize an event, you can sell candles to all participants andsend the proceeds to benefit and support local MSA groups. Each single $, €, £ , ¥ counts.(MSA Support Groups who are interested please forward your full information, so we canadd your info on the list).
A Mile:
You can walk alone, or with family, friends and neighbors. Every step, every kilometer ormile we will count together. The goal is to attempt to walk around the earth (40.075kilometers or 24,901 miles around the Earth at the equator).
Let’s see how far we come this year.
Send in your mileage to be tallied. If you are able to get sponsors for your steps, yourwheelchair distance, your miles or kilometer, please forward the proceeds to supportlocal MSA groups.
A Mile and A Candle… please do as much as you are able to do, each step, each inch orcentimeter is a start for the 40.075 kilometers or 24,901 miles needed. Each singlecandle counts toward the 347.635* needed.
Thanks to all who are willing to create awareness for MSA.
