5th Annual Women Against MS (WAMS) Gala Luncheon a Tremendous Success!
 |
2010 WAMS Gala Luncheon |
Thank you to all who attended the WAMS Gala Luncheon on Friday May 7th in Toronto. We are incredibly pleased to announce that over $285,000 was raised for multiple sclerosis research!
There is an urgent need to enhance and accelerate MS research in Canada and to ensure that more trainees and researchers choose to study multiple sclerosis. To echo the words of Dr. Cornelia Laule, inaugural recipient of the WAMS Transitional Career Development Award, “Thanks to the endMS initiative, I am able to continue my career as an MS researcher in Canada.”
