What is MS?

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. It attacks and damages myelin: the protective covering of the nerves. This can result in the disruption of nerve impulses, and ultimately, loss of the body's motor functions. There are two types of MS:
Relapsing-Remitting MS and
Primary or Secondary Progressive MS.

Testimonials
testimonial
“To me, MS research means a chance at finding a cure for, or improving the quality of life for those living with MS.
My hope for the future is that we find a way to halt the progression of the disease and reverse the damage already caused.
I stay connected to the MS community by attending MS Society information sessions, social gatherings, and fundraising events.”
– Gregory, diagnosed in 2007
testimonial
“MS research, to me, means hope for all of the kiddos! I look at my family and would love for them to live in a world where they don't fear MS. I also hope, for myself, that I can live a long and healthy life without any deficits or pains.
I am proud to come from a country where so much great research is being done. I love to read all about the new theories and advancements in MS research; I'm also an MS Society ambassador and a support group facilitator.”
– Rachel, diagnosed in 2008
