For every A & W Teen Burger bought today two dollars is being donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
Amanda Novak, the Development Manager for the MS Society of Canada- Manitoba Division says the disease impacts so many in the Parkland.
“Primarily the prairie provinces have huge amount per capita of those folks living with MS. I believe that the more money that goes into research, we have already come so far. Research is improving every day. Every month there’s something new and treatments, there’s new medication, things like that, that are definitely improving quality of life for those that are inflicted by the disease.”
For those who want something other than a Teen Burger Novak shares how else you can donate.
“There’s more than one way you can actually donate and participate in Burgers to End MS. Not everybody likes burgers, so if you want to come out to A & W that day the folks at A & W are more than willing to take a donation, they could ask you to round up your orders.”
This year’s Burgers to Beat MS is the 10th year the MS society and A and W are working together to help fund MS research.
