FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- National Multiple Sclerosis Education and Awareness Month® (#NMSEAM) was created to promote and raise awareness, provide education and assistance to those who have this chronic illness and their families who are affected by it.

Celebrity guests includes NBC'S THE VOICE and #TEAMSHAKIRA Monique Abbadie, who recently debuted her song "No Fear" in honor of MS, as well as Olympic Gold Medalist Boxer & CEO of Fight Time Promotions, Howard Davis Jr, who was recently inducted into the Florida Boxing Hall of fame.
