Buy a burger, help beat MS

It’s Burgers to Beat MS Day at A&W restaurants across the country.

On Thursday, August 21, $2 from every Teen Burger sold will be passed along to the MS Society of Canada.

Since the national fundraising campaign started in 2008, over $21 million has been raised towards research, treatment and care for people living with multiple sclerosis.

Canada has one of the highest rates of Multiple Sclerosis in the world.

MS Canada said approximately one in every 400 Canadians live with MS, more than 90,000 people in Canada.

"On average, someone in Canada is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) every two hours," read the MS Canada website. 

Donations can also be made online at BurgersToBeatMS.ca.
