At the March 10 Little Egg Harbor Township Committee meeting, Deputy Mayor Blaise Scibetta presented a proclamation naming March 2022 Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month.

According to Scibetta’s presentation, MS is a chronic, unpredictable disease of the central nervous system. The central nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. MS interferes with the transmission of the nerve signals between the brain and the spinal cord and other parts of the body.
