Month of the caregiver in India

Every October the members of MSSI’s Chennai chapter gather to appreciate and honour the ‘caregiver’ be it a parent, a spouse, a sibling, a child, or a friend.

Each caregiver is presented with a gift of appreciation for caring for their loved one tirelessly over the years. The hope is that this special event encourages other caregivers to seek support.

This year, a special guest joined the proceedings. Karen Dare, an Ambassador for MS Australia (Victoria), gave a talk about her experience of living with MS. The talk provided a new perspective and a positive outlook on MS for everyone who was there.
