WHAT IS MS?
Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow
of information within the brain, and between the brain and body.

Symptoms vary from person to person and range from numbness and tingling, to walking difficulties, fatigue,
dizziness, pain, depression, blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one
person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are leading to better understanding and
moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with at
least two to three times more women than men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 2.3
million worldwide.

ABOUT THE NATIONAL MS SOCIETY
The Society mobilizes people and resources so that everyone affected by multiple sclerosis can live their best lives
as we stop MS in its tracks, restore what has been lost and end MS forever.

To fulfill this mission, the Society funds cutting-edge research, drives change through advocacy, facilitates
professional education, collaborates with MS organizations around the world, and provides services designed to
help people with MS and their families move their lives forward. Last year alone, through our comprehensive
nationwide network, the Society devoted $131.1 million to help more than one million individuals connect to the
people, information and resources they need. To move closer to a world free of MS, the Society also invested $54
million to support more than 380 new and ongoing research projects around the world.
