We share this commitment with you; it’s reflected in the Society’s 5-year strategic plan — our strategic response to multiple sclerosis: 2011–2015 —and in our $250 million fundraising goal. our goal: We are a driving force of MS research and treatment to stop disease progression, restore function, and end MS forever. Here’s how we will get there Better understand the scientific mechanisms that lead to disease progression and accelerate the development of new therapies.

Your financial contributions support research progress in many areas — in fact, the Society’s comprehensive approach to MS research is the only strategy that will deliver solutions for everyone with MS.

Pursue new avenues to discover how nerve cells are damaged and potentially repaired. Pursue new rehabilitation techniques and symptomatic treatments to restore neurological function and enhance quality of life. Identify risk and triggering factors that cause MS, and understand the biological interactions that lead to its development so that MS can be prevented. Expand and strengthen the quantity and quality of MS research worldwide to accelerate new discoveries and treatments. AJ, diagnosed in 2000
