Story
MS Together is a support group and community organisation for younger people (aged 18-35) who have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and live in the UK or Ireland. Since 2020, we've set ourselves 1 big fundraising challenge per year and our Million Steps for MS initiative has raised over £50,000 during this time, so we want to keep it going!
This year, on 29 May 2022, as a team we will aim to collectively walk / run / wheel the equivalent of 3 Million Steps by midnight - that’s approximately 1500 miles or 57 marathons 😳 - with the steps / miles split between us.
Please support our team in raising money for the MS Society. Since we last fundraised for them, here are just some of the advances they have made:
- Zebrafish study showed cells that survive myelin damage are worse at producing myelin.
- Researchers discovered changing a single gene can boost myelin repair in older mice.
- The first person joined ChariotMS - a new clinical trial focusing on advanced MS.
- The MS Society introduced Octopus - the world's first multi-arm, multi-stage trial for MS.- New research has identified which type of nerve cells are lost in MS.
- The results from a phase 2a clinical trial showed bexarotene is capable of regenerating lost myelin.
- New research suggests the diabetes drug pioglitazone could be another piece in the puzzle of stopping MS.And so much more!
The MS Society is a wonderful charity that has supported many of us individually and as a group. We now want to give back in any way we can. We understand times are tough right now, but any donations - big or small - will go such a long way.
Thank you so much for your support x
