Charity 2018

 

This year The Building Forum for Devon and Cornwall are proud to sponsor the charity, Multiple Sclerosis Society.

 

 

What is Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition, that means it affects your nerves. You get it when your immune system isn’t working properly. Your immune system normally protects you by fighting off infection, but in MS it attacks your nerves by mistake.

These nerves control lots of different parts of your body. That’s why you can get MS symptoms in many parts of your body. It’s also why everyone’s MS is different.

Once diagnosed, MS stays with you for life, but treatments and specialists can help you to manage the condition and its symptoms. We're here to help you live well with your MS.

Who are we?

Whether you have MS, or care about someone who does, our community is here for you through the highs, lows and everything in between.

We understand what life’s like with MS. And we know together we are stronger. We’re researching, writing, campaigning and fighting. Running, walking, caring and talking.

Together, we are strong enough to stop MS.

How can you help?

There is no cure for MS. Yet. But research is progressing faster than ever before. We’re making real strides.

And your help can, and will, take us further. Find out how, together, we can move closer to our vision of a world free from the effects of MS.
