World MS Day brings the global MS community together on 30 May to share stories, raise awareness and campaign with everyone affected by multiple sclerosis (MS).

MS is the most common acquired chronic neurological disease ,
As yet, there is no cure.
There is no known single cause of MS, but many genetic and environmental factors have been shown to contribute to its development.
In MS, the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the fatty material – called myelin – around the nerves. Myelin is important for protecting and insulating nerves so that the electrical messages that the brain sends to the rest of the body, travel quickly and efficiently.

• Nearly 3 million people live with MS worldwide.
• There are more than 33,300 Australians living with MS.
• Average age of diagnosis is between 20-40 years.
• 3 out of 4 Australians diagnosed with MS are women.
• MS affects more young adults than any other acquired chronic neurological disease.
