I had the same reaction... ah well. Next year will be better!

I was disapointed too that it wasn't even a 30 second blurb on the local news( national news would have been better!). I even had an appt. with my MS Specialist yesterday and there was no mention of it, no poster, nothing at all. I thought they would at least be aware of it there. ( I could have asked my neuro or even his nurse if they knew of it, but I didn't want to waste my precious 20 minutes or so that I haven't had in 7 and 1/2 months on anything other than my own personal issues)

I hope they do make this an annual day.

I feel kind of let down when people don't know what it is, but I guess that's human nature if it doesn't effect you personally or a close family member.

U2 donated their song free, to a video about MS, for MS Awareness Day.
