Endless Pools, Inc., the manufacturer of counter-current swimming pools for
residential and commercial use, has teamed with the National Multiple Sclerosis
Society, the world's largest MS organization, to highlight the benefits of
exercise during MS Awareness Week, March 10-17.
The company, with
headquarters in the Philadelphia suburb of Aston, is sponsoring an email
communication that the Society will send to half a million households with
connections to the MS movement on March 10, kicking off "Seven Days of Action" -
a week's worth of fun, easy activities that anybody can take to boost awareness
of multiple sclerosis and the movement to end it. Visit

Endless
Pools also sponsored a Society brochure called
Exercise as Part of Everyday Life (.pdf).
The 24-page brochure - written by Mary Harmon, a freelance writer who lives with
MS - shows how all kinds of exercise, from swimming to yoga to martial arts, can
improve physical and mental well-being in people with MS.
"We've had a
presence for many years in the Society's national magazine, so expanding this
relationship is a natural next step," said Mark Langan, Marketing Director for
Endless Pools, Inc.
"We're proud to have Endless Pools, Inc. be a part
of movement to end MS," said Joyce Nelson, President and CEO of the National MS
Society.

About the National Multiple Sclerosis
Society MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists
to make sure it doesn't. We help each person address the challenges of living
with MS. In 2006 alone, through our home office and 50 state network of
chapters, we devoted nearly $126 million to programs that enhanced more than one
million lives. To move us closer to a world free of MS, the Society also
invested more than $46 million to support 380 research projects around the
world. We are people who want to do something about MS NOW. Join the movement at

Studies show that
early and ongoing treatment with an FDA-approved therapy can reduce future
disease activity and improve quality of life for many people with multiple
sclerosis. Talk to your health care professional and contact the National MS
