MS Impact Stories

MARILYN's STORY

“When I was diagnosed 19 years ago with multiple sclerosis, I fit the statistics. I’m a woman, I was in my career, I had young children, and it took me out of the workforce like so many people with MS,” says Marilyn, who joined our advocacy efforts on Parliament Hill this year. 

Thanks to your support, we’re able to advocate for a brighter future for families affected by MS, like Marilyn’s.

Helping Fund RESEARCH

Collectively, we have the power to push MS research forward. Ground-breaking studies are made possible because of the funds raised through PwC MS Bike.

In our MS research video series, Dr. Jiwon Oh shows how our $7+ million Canadian Proactive Cohort Study for People Living with MS (CanProCo) is bringing together a diverse group of researchers to focus on one major goal: understanding progression in MS.

This study is a revolutionary project in every sense of the word. Scope. Scale. Significance.

When you make fundraising for MS your act of greatness for people living with disease, you’re changing the future of MS.
