Local Clock Tower Goes Orange For M.S. Awareness

One famous Schenectady landmark will have a different look to it this month.

Schenectady's City Hall

The clock tower on Schenectady's city hall, which is located at 105 Jay Street, will be orange for Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month. It is a disease that effects more than two million people. There is also something identified as 'four disease courses' in multiple sclerosis. A detailed definition and description about the disease can be found on The National Multiple Sclerosis Society's website.

In the story from WNYT, the orange clock tower is a way to help raise awareness about multiple sclerosis.

One way that M.S. Awareness Month starts is M.S. Awareness Week, which is this week. As it's noted on their website, it's a special week. It's a week to inspire people to help create a world free of multiple sclerosis.

There are ways that you can donate listed on the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s website.
