Fundraising for Shift.ms
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am cycling 100 miles in the Prudential RideLondon 2019 for Shift.ms. My ride is inspired by the strength and determination of a friend of mine Jess Frank who suffers from MS, but still finds the energy to support and help others with anything life throws at them!
Shift.ms is a social network for young and recently diagnosed people with multiple sclerosis. We aim to create a positive, enabling community which empowers MSers to acknowledge their MS, rethink how to achieve their ambitions and get on with their lives.
Shift.ms was launched in 2009 by George Pepper and his friends, following George’s diagnosis with MS at the age of 22. MS is the most commonly diagnosed neurological condition in people in their 20s and 30s in the UK. Despite this, George found it difficult to find other MSers of his age, even online. This frustration led him to set up a website, where MSers could meet and share experiences. This later became www.shift.ms.
Today there are over 7000 members worldwide.
