MS Society, Ottawa

Thank you for your support! We loved this beautiful backdrop! #WAMSOttawa

So great to meet @zahrasays, Canadian Ambassador to @UNICEF, today at @MSOttawa's #WAMSOttawa luncheon. Inspired by her story and many #actsofgreatness! Looking forward to reading her book! Thanks for your support at this amazing event.

“Is your glass half full or half empty? Who cares? Drink it and fill it up again!” - some (of many) very true words from UNICEF Canada Ambassador @ZahraSays at the @MSOttawa #WAMSOttawa event #resilience

The Women Against MS Gala Luncheon, raising research funds for the @MSSocietyCanada, was held Friday at the @OttawaCEC. #SocialScene @MSOttawa @PwC @zahrasays @BuildAbleCanada #MS #WAMSOttawa wp.me/p4wplu-6AhQ

Thank you to our wonderful Sales Cabinet for a successful inaugural #WAMSOttawa! @KylaCullain @hetalkushwaha Catherine Bennett, Lara Pilutti and @bea_vdc

And that's a wrap for the first annual #WAMSOttawa luncheon! Thank you to all for helping us in our fight to #endMS.

Thank you @zahrasays for the amazing and inspiring speech! #WAMSOttawa

"It's always a win-win situation when you give back to your community," @zahrasays tells #WAMSOttawa luncheon, speaking about the pro-bono work her company Foundry Communications did for non-profits in the early days.

"I don't think I could've done what I've done if it weren't for Canada. I'm a proud Canadian," Canadian Ambassador to @UNICEF @zahrasays tells @MSOttawa #WAMSOttawa luncheon.

"All of us can handle anything," says @zahrasays at #WAMSOttawa luncheon. Puts up Bob Marley quote on screen - "You only know how strong you are when being strong is your only choice."

"I got told no a lot when I was younger. When I asked why, I was told 'because you're a girl,'" @zahrasays tells #WAMSOttawa luncheon. "My parents are the reason I'm successful today."

Advancements in MS research have allowed us to diagnose and treat patients earlier, says #WAMSOttawa impact speaker Lara Pilutti. Collaboration is both important and necessary to help #endMS.

Powerful and inspiring speech by #WAMSOttawa honouree Ellen Corkery-Dooher; “ You can live your best life with MS” 🙌 #ThankYou @MSOttawa

...guess what, the mystery envelopes are SOLD OUT 👏 Thanks to all the donors to this great cause #volunteer #WAMSOttawa

"You can live your best life," says @PwC partner Ellen Corkery-Dooher, #WAMSOttawa honouree, talking about her MS diagnosis and the support she's received from colleagues and family.

Ellen has always been an amazing example of someone who gives back, she's tenacious and inspiring, colleagues say of #WAMSOttawa honouree Ellen Corkery-Dooher.

#WAMSOttawa Sales Cabinet chair Kyla Cullain makes opening remarks: "Great to be here to support a great cause!"

@ctvottawa's @PatriciaBoalCTV kicks off #WAMSOttawa luncheon. The event has raised $22,000 so far to help #endMS! Thank you for your support!

DYK: Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world. 11 Canadians are diagnosed with MS everyday and women are 3x more likely to be diagnosed. Thank you to all our guests and sponsors at today's 1st annual #WAMSOttawa luncheon to help #endMS!
