Phil Keoghan, host of The Amazing Race, set out on the biggest physical and mental challenge of his life biking 3,500 miles in just 40 days from coast to coast across America. His efforts, combined with GNCs in-store fundraising campaign, generated $500,000 for the MS cause! Phil fueled his ride with NOW One Square Meals (NOW OSM), a perfectly balanced food from New Zealand that helps you get the most out of life.

NOW OSM has agreed to share a portion of profits from every bar sold now through November. In addition, GNC is offering a 2 for 1 deal on NOW OSM bars sold through July 30. The goal is to raise another $200,000 for the Society. Buy a NOW OSM today and help move us closer to a world free of MS. Find a store near you or purchase your NOW-OSM bars online.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system. Today more than 2,000,000 people around the world have MS.

MS is the result of damage to myelin - a protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres of the central nervous system. When myelin is damaged, this interferes with messages between the brain and other parts of the body.

Symptoms vary widely and include blurred vision, weak limbs, unsteadiness, pain and fatigue. For some people, MS is characterised by periods of relapse and remission while for others it has a progressive pattern. For everyone, it makes life unpredictable.

This film is a joint project of the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation (MSIF) and the Hertie Foundation launched on the first ever World Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Day, 27 May 2009. It aims to capture the attention of people worldwide, motivate them to learn more about MS and become involved in the global MS movement. Show your support today! Register at www.worldmsday.org

The Multiple Sclerosis International Federation (MSIF) is the umbrella organisation of national MS societies. MSIF leads the global MS movement by stimulating research into the understanding and treatment of MS and by improving the quality of life of people affected by MS. www.msif.org

The Hertie Foundation is one of the largest private foundations in Germany. For more than 30 years the Foundation has been actively engaged in MS research and in supporting people with MS. www.ghst.de
