Words 4 MS Program Criteria
Overview
The Words 4 MS program was created to empower and inspire people in the multiple sclerosis (MS) community by encouraging them to share their story. The program allows individuals living with MS, as well as people who know someone impacted by MS, to have their voices heard through selected videos on mslifelines.com. Check out the below video to see what people had to say about their MS journey.
You can share your own 4 words, too! Video submissions (max 10-seconds) are currently being accepted and should follow the theme of Words 4 MS and include four words to describe a personal achievement. Entries must follow the submission criteria.
The program, which is open to all people living with or impacted by MS, is intended to empower and inspire. We encourage you to share this video at Facebook.com/MSVoicesAMultipleSclerosisCommunity.
Submission Process
- Members of the MS community (people with MS, caregivers, healthcare professionals, friends, etc.) are encouraged to share their inspiring story by uploading a short video via mslifelines.com. Each video will show four inspiring, thought-provoking words that say how the individual feels or reminds him of someone in his life who has helped them through their MS journey
