Advancing MS Care
Help advance MS care
A donation from you could fund more Advanced MS Champions across the UK and drastically improve the quality of life for some of the 40,000 people living with advanced MS.
With little interaction with health professionals and limited access to disease modifying drugs, people living with advanced MS can feel invisible to the healthcare system. With more than 40,000 people living with advanced MS in the UK, this lack of access to healthcare cannot continue. This is where an Advanced MS Champion can help – by providing specialist knowledge, bridging the gap between health and social services, and providing continuous, stable access to health services.

Peter's story
Peter shares why he thinks an Advanced MS Champion could have improved the quality of life for his late wife, who had advanced MS.
Sometimes you have questions or needs (even after 8 years) and you're not sure if it's the GP, the neuro, the nurse or who it is that deals with it. That's where an Advanced MS Champion would be so beneficial. Having access to a specialist just for your condition would make this journey a whole lot easier.
