I nearly passed by this ad in the March issue of Shape magazine, assuming it was related to fashion or something I don't particularly care about, but in the middle of turning the page I read the tagline and stopped for a closer look.

Interesting ad campaign, eh? I examined the website, and it appears to be an offshoot organization of the
Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. The Fearless MS site is pretty basic, consisting of a concise description of the disease, an open letter from MSer Laura Mann about her experiences with MS, and some calls to action for donation including the suggestion that brides and groom request donations to the MSF in lieu of wedding gifts. Of note, the model in the ad photo, Shannon Rusbuldt, heads the charity event
Fashion's Fight Against MS.
I just checked out the
Fearless MS facebook page, and I see that there is a second ad just coming out in some other magazines, this one featuring a bride:
Overall, I think this is a great move by the MSF - getting great visibility in the high profile publications they're working with and using a punchy, hip, youthful vibe to grab attention and hopefully dollars for the cause.
Live with boldness! I'm trying.
