Story
Every day in the UK, 14 people – typically in their 20s or 30s – are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a life-long, chronic condition for which there is currently no cure. More than 100,000 people in the UK have MS.
Everyone of them shares the uncertainty of a future with MS. It attacks at random; many of its symptoms are invisible to others; it can worsen steadily, or remain unpredictable throughout your life. From one day to the next you might be losing or regaining your sight or your ability to walk.
So what is the future that we are determined to build?
- A future where quality of life is improved for all people with MS, with effective treatments to stop relapses, slow progression and restore lost function.
- A future where fewer people are diagnosed with MS because of progress in the area of prevention.
- A future where we greatly reduce the uncertainty around diagnosis and what the future holds.
- A future where people affected by MS have the information they need, along with the understanding and awareness of others.
- A future where people with MS live life, strengthened by an MS community that ensures no one has to face MS alone
We want to make a difference, so to do our bit to help this fantastic charity Team Champion have decided to take on the massive challenge to join Trekfest at the start of September. Our team of intrepid trekkers will be challenging themselves to brave a 50km trek around the Peak District! We're expecting to face over 12 hours of hiking, we will be battling the Peak District terrain well into the night.
Your donation could help inspire Team Champion to achieve this amazing challenge and more importantly help this fantastic charity take another step to change someone's life for the better.
Thanks, from all at Team Champion
