A huge thank you to all our groups that have made a generous donation to support our research projects and UK-wide services. We know how challenging fundraising is at the moment, and how difficult it can be to decide how to spend valuable resources.
Our Director of Research and External Affairs, Dr Sarah Rawlings, says:
“The kindness of our supporters and local groups means we're able to continue making big strides forward in MS research. You can read about just some of our researchers' recent achievements in the latest issue of Research Reporter. None of this would be possible without your support — and we can’t wait to see what the next discovery is. Together, we're strong enough to stop MS.”
We'll be updating the list below on a monthly basis, when our e-newsletter is sent out.
