Support for People Affected by Multiple Sclerosis
The MS Fund was created to raise funds and awareness to support individuals and families impacted by Multiple Sclerosis.
OUR STORY
About The MS Fund
The MS Fund was created from my own experience of watching my Dad live with Multiple Sclerosis & the challenges he has faced.
He was first diagnosed at the age of 26, the year I was born, but for many years his symptoms were minor and had little, if any impact on daily life.
That changed around the age of 43, when problems with his legs began. Over the years his mobility got worse & by the age of 55, he lost almost all mobility, only being able to turn his head and move his left hand slightly before it tires.
Seeing how this progressed over the years has shown me how deeply MS affects lives, and it’s what drives my commitment to helping others facing the same challenges.
OUR MISSION
To make a difference
The aim of The MS Fund is to support people living with MS in any way it can whether that be by raising awareness, helping to fund essential equipment and aids that promote independence and daily living or contributing to MS related causes and research.
