TULSA, OK -- Dozens of people were moving their message in downtown Tulsa Wednesday.

Move It! To The Streets is a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about Multiple Sclerosis, which can make everyday things like walking or talking difficult.

The disease affects more than 20,000 Oklahomans -- including Ashlie Walker's mother.

"It's just really emotionally and mentally and physically hard for the whole family," said Ashlie Walker. "If one person in your family has MS, the whole family has MS."

March 8 through 14 is MS Awareness week. Get more details about activities and about Multiple Sclerosis at the National MS Society web site.
