About MS
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition that affects the nerves and is caused when the immune system isn’t working properly. The immune system normally protects you by fighting off infection, but with MS it attacks the nerves by mistake. The nerves control lots of different parts of the body which is why you can get MS symptoms in many parts of the body and also why everyone’s MS is different. Once diagnosed, MS is for life, but treatments and specialists can help to manage the condition and its symptoms.
The money invested in research has led to significant progress in the treatment of MS and every big breakthrough is the result of years of hard work. That’s why ongoing support and fundraising is so important.
