OUR MISSION
The goal of the MS Great 8 Foundation is to raise public awareness about Multiple Sclerosis, raise funds that go directly to various chapters of the National MS Society and inspire those diagnosed with MS to take charge of their lives and not let MS control them.
Multiple sclerosis (abbreviated MS, also known as disseminated sclerosis or encephalomyelitis disseminata) is a disease in which the fatty myelin sheaths around the axons of the brain and spinal cord are damaged, leading to demyelination and scarring as well as a broad spectrum of signs and symptoms. Disease onset usually occurs in young adults, and it is more common in females. It has a prevalence that ranges between 2 and 150 per 100,000. MS was first described in 1868 by Jean-Martin Charcot.
