MS Organizations
After 8 years, Art is changing roles from employee to Board Member at Accelerated Cure Project. As such, he will no longer be able to commit time to MSNews on a daily basis.
MSNews will remain as a searchable resource, and Hollie will continue to do periodic postings on things she finds interesting or write-ups from conferences. However, we will shutdown the ability for users to comment and submit stories.
Users getting updates emailed to them will continue to receive MSNews updates, and new users can sign up for them, but user content will have to stop due to lack of bandwidth to police it for spam (of which there is far too much these days).
OK, MSNews is back in action.
You can now post comments, submit stories, and receive updates via email.
If you forgot how to do these things or your account password, refresh your memory with the handy faq that is available in the "Welcome to MSNews" block on the right.
update: You might want to review these lessons
New MSNews postings will be on hold for a while. If you would like to be emailed when it is up and running again, you can sign up for our mailing list (make sure to provide your email) if you haven't already. We'll send out an announcement when MSNews is back.
In the meantime, you can search the archives for past news or check out the sites listed in the box on the lower right of this page titled Other Sites For MS News.
The latest issue of the Accelerated Cure Project print newsletter is available for download as a PDF. Feature article is on Vitamin D and MS.
New MSNews accounts will be on hold from Friday August 8th through Tuesday August 19th. Art will be on his first real vacation since starting Accelerated Cure Project, and will not be doing anything work related at all while he is away.
Feel free to continue applying for accounts - he'll deal with them when he returns.
We'll be back, business as usual, on August 20th.
Hollie will be editor during this period.
Accelerated Cure Project is unveiling a new program to support volunteers looking to take a lead role in our mission to determine the causes of MS.
The Volunteer Track is a structured program that guides new volunteers through their first volunteer opportunity of assisting in a personal mailing, and helps experienced volunteers carry out larger projects such as fundraising event or creating internal infrastructure for our staff.
You can check out our Volunteer Track program online here or call Jane at 781-487-0010.
Accelerated Cure Project will have several of their videos broadcast on the new Satellite network Starfish TV. Let us know if you see it.
Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis announced that they have completed their initial drive to collect one thousand blood and data samples to build the largest openly accessible, multi-disciplinary repository ever assembled for use in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research.
You can see the current status here.
Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis was invited to present their approach to MS via the repository to the Brain Institute at Utah University in April 2008.
This video is a good overview of the repository. Art didn't repeat the questions asked at the end, but you can figure out most of them from the answers.
