The MS Association of America (MSAA) also has a cooling program. This is from an e-mail from them:

Quote
Offered year round, the MSAA Cooling Program provides a variety of lightweight ice-pack vests and accessories to help you stay cool this summer while at work, play or participating in your favorite exercise.

As the heat starts to build, so do requests for this free MSAA service, so please place your order now before the summer rush.

Please know that there is a five-year wait period to reorder any cooling products if you have already received items through the MSAA Cooling Program.

You can download the MSAA Cooling Program application or call MSAA at (800) 532-7667, ext. 130 to request an application by mail.

MS Foundation's cooling equipment (2015)
« Reply #2 on: February 06, 2015, 03:06:47 pm »
Here is the 2015 announcement from the MS Foundation about its cooling equipment program:

Quote
Many people with MS experience weakness, fatigue, visual disturbances, and other symptoms when they become overheated. Keeping your body cool allows you to reclaim the ability to spend time outdoors during the warmer months and helps you enjoy activities like barbeques and baseball games.


The MSF Cooling Program offers a variety of free items – including bandanas, neckties, hats, wristbands, and two types of cooling vests – to help you gain relief from heat-induced symptoms and maintain your active lifestyle.

Applications are accepted from Feb. 1 to June 1.
The Program Services department can make applications available via email, fax, or mail.
Call 888-673-6287 or email support@msfocus.org.
