MS is a day to recognise the prevelance of MS in society. MS is the result of damage to myelin – a protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres of the central nervous system. When myelin is damaged, this interferes with messages between the brain and other parts of the body.
‘The average age of diagnosis with MS is just 30, and 3 out of 4 Australians with MS are women.’
There are 25,600 Australians living with MS currently.
Get involved this May by:
