The MS Walk — a nationwide event held each year by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society — will be held in Missoula on May 17 to raise funds that will help families living with MS in our community and to further national research efforts to discover the disease’s cause and a cure.

More than 150 walkers are expected.

The MS Walk’s 3- to 5-mile route follows the scenic and handicap-accessible Riverfront Trail through the heart of Missoula. It starts at McCormick Park and proceeds to the University of Montana River Bowl, then returns to McCormick. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. at McCormick Park. The walk starts at 10:00.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system that may result in motor, sensory and cognitive impairment. The progressive nature of the illness and the unpredictability of its development can lead to a high level of uncertainty in the lives of its victims and their families. More females than males are generally affected more, and onset of the illness generally occurs between 20 and 50 years of age. It is estimated that nearly 1,500 people in Montana have MS.

Workshops are concise and to the point, completed in only 2-hours so
you don't miss a full day of work. Each workshop is a small $40 investment and space is limited to keep each session small and interactive. You must reserve your space in advance.

When marketing efforts are not successful, many companies are left wondering why. They sent out direct mail, or refreshed their website, initiated Google Adwords, or attended a trade show, but are left disappointed and frustrated with languishing sales and underused resources. Why isn’t the phone ringing? What went wrong? The high level answer to this question is that marketing efforts must be more than a disconnected series of tasks. Effective marketing is not a single activity, but a well choreographed effort that takes planning, consistency, and fortitude to accomplish. The deeper answer
comes from analyzing the top marketing mistakes we've seen companies make. Are you making one or more of them?
