SPREAD THE WORD!!! 30 Days Until the MS Walk!

There's only 30 days are left until the first MS Walk of 2011! 

We hope that you are as excited as we are! As we approach the final stretch, we invariably are asked an important question from fundraisers looking to leverage their online presence to obtain pledges:

“How do I use social media to spread the word about my fundraising activities?”

The answer is: Visit our “Spread the Word” page online!

We’ve made it easier than ever for you to spread the word to your friends, family, colleagues and associates that you are walking to end MS and would very much appreciate their support.

Here are some ideas on how you can digitally spread the word:

·         Update your profile picture on your favorite social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Bebo, Orkut, etc.) with an MS Walk badge

·         Embed one of our animated MS Walk banners onto your blog, personal website or email signature

·         Share the inspiring MS Walk video Every Step Matters with your online network

·         Update your voicemail to let people know that you are a Walker

·         Post a link to your online fundraising page on your social media sites of choice

·         Print off an MS Walk poster and hang it up in your office cubicle or lunch room

·         Update your email signature line with a MS Walk badge which links to your online fundraising page

·         Update your desktop wallpaper with a custom MS Walk background image
