MS TrustMaking sure no one has to manage MS alone
“The MS Trust has been a great source
of learning for us both. They do a
huge amount for people with MS.”

Finding out that you or someone close to you has multiple sclerosis can be hard to take in. It needn’t be the end of the world, but it is the start of a long and unpredictable journey. Wherever you are with MS, chances are you’ll have a lot of questions.
The MS Trust is here for you.
“When I was diagnosed
with MS, I knew very little about it or what to
expect. I was 21 with a young son and I felt completely alone and frightened. I thought I was going mad due to some of my
sensory symptoms, such as feeling like things were crawling all over me.”
Gemma

She knows me, cares what happens to me,
and because of her I know that whatever MS throws at me, I won’t have to face it alone.” Tracy (pictured with her MS

“When I was diagnosed
with MS the bottom fell out of my world and I didn’t
have a clue what the future had in store. The free information from the MS Trust was of real value to me. My friends and I did a sponsored skydive because we feel it’s important they
can continue to produce this information for everyone
affectedbyMS.”Karen
