MS Society
We’re the MS Society – a community of people living with MS, scientists, campaigners, volunteers and fundraisers. 130,000 people live with multiple sclerosis in the UK. Every one of them shares the uncertainty of life with MS. We understand what life’s like with MS, and we support each other through the highs, lows and everything in between. And we’re driving research into more – and better – treatments. For everyone. Together, we are strong enough to stop MS.
