NationalMultiple Sclerosis Society,Minnesota Chapter

2006 Annual Report

Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of informationbetween the brain and the body and stops people frommoving.We believe moving is not just something you canor can’t do, but that moving forward is who we are. Just bybeing here, you are connected to the potential, the hope,the momentum of it all.

With the help of people like you, the National MS Societyaddresses the challenges of each person whose life isaffected by MS and helps them stay connected to thegreat big moving world.

We fund more MS research, provide more services to peoplewith MS, offer more professional education and furthermore advocacy efforts than any other MS organization inthe world.The society is dedicated to achieving a world freeof MS.We are people who want to do something about MSnow.The Minnesota Chapter represents an estimated 9,000people with MS in Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

MS STOPS PEOPLE FROM MOVING.

Moving research forward.

ResearchThe National MS Society is moving researchforward to find three cures for MS:

� A way to stop the disease cold

� A way to repair existing damageto the nervous system

� A way to prevent the damage fromever happening in the future

The society funded more than 380 newand ongoing MS research projects in 2006,including several right here in Minnesota.Since its inception in 1948, the society hasfunded more than $500 million in MS research.

Pediatric MS Center of ExcellenceThe Mayo Clinic Rochester’s Dr.Nancy L.Kuntz (pictured above)and Dr.Moses Rodriguez are co-directors of one of the six PediatricCenters of Excellence that provide specialized pediatric care tochildren with MS.The centers were funded as a part of the NationalMS Society’s Promise: 2010 Campaign.

Every day, around the world, researchers work to unravel themystery of MS.

Programs & ServicesThe National MS Society is moving to address the challenges of each personwhose life is affected by MS, helping them stay connected to the world andmove their lives forward.

In 2006 the Minnesota Chapter provided countless resources throughoutMinnesota and western Wisconsin for people living with MS and their families,friends and care partners, including:

� Information and referrals for nearly 5,000 people with MS and theirfamilies.

� More than $200,000 in financial assistance to help people with MSpurchase durable medical equipment, more than $20,000 in emergencyassistance, more than $30,000 to help care partners take a break as apart of our respite care program and more than $30,000 to providechore services to people with MS.

In all the Community Grant Program awarded more than$230,000 in 2006.

“Attending MS Society getaways

has helped us move forward —

as individuals, as a couple and

as a family.”

Susan and Mark Caffrey understand that MS affects not just theperson with the disease and that coping with the challengesof a chronic illness often calls for a team effort.That’s why Mark,diagnosed with MS more than 15 years ago, and his wife, Susan,attended the Couple’s Getaway where they learned about facingMS together and met other couples living with the disease.Susanand Mark also attended the chapter’s annual Family Getaway,along with their three children, and learned about dealing withMS as a family.

“I want to educate everyone

and get more teens involved

one day there won’t be MS

anymore.”

Moving lives forward through

awareness, connections and participation.

Mission Stars The extraordinary people listed below met an amazing challenge in 2006 by raising at least$7,500 in special events.

“I believe that supporting the National MS Society shows

good corporate citizenship. As a specialty retailer of women’s

apparel, it makes sense for Christopher & Banks to support

a disease in which women are diagnosed two to three

times more frequently than men. The MS Walk also

provides an opportunity for our 6,000 employees

to rally nationwide in support of a great cause.”

Monica Dahl, Executive Vice President and ChiefOperating Officer, Christopher & Banks Corporation
