World MS Day History

World MS Day seeks to raise awareness about multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system. It affects the way nerves send electrical impulses to and from the brain. Symptoms can include blurred vision, weak limbs, memory problems, and fatigue. There are no known cures, but there are treatments available that make living with it more comfortable. This day encourages building communities that support those affected by MS.

World MS Day was established in 2009 by the MS International Federation. It is observed annually on May 30th.

To the doctor who told me 11 years ago when I was diagnosed with MS to ‘reconsider’ my career in law, I’ve got my own doctorate now. And to the doctor who told me I’d never wear high heels again, I’m wearing them in for my chat @steenslaytonatr @abcperth for World MS Day! https://t.co/SXyfHFslwS

Cheers! Happy World MS day to my lovely MS people! It's also my 36th birthday! To celebrate I'm having some prosecco and I'm doing a special charity stream raising funds for the MS Trust, a wonderful organisation. Join me at 7:30pm over on https://t.co/E6Vv5Erz34 https://t.co/n7TEJLoB2s

Today is also World MS Day. Today, I found out one of my HS classmates has MS. She had the courage today to reveal that about herself. Be kind to people. You never know what others are really going through. https://t.co/sdllCdgHMI
