The national door-to-door collection of the National MS Fund will take place from 27 June to 2 July. Thousands of fundraising volunteers go door-to-door or take action online to fight MS (multiple sclerosis).
The organization explains: “MS is nerve-wracking The MS Fund is currently making clear in the ‘Face it. MS is nerve-racking.” Benno, Gwen, Eric, Najat and Wil can be seen in the campaign. They differ in age and are each in a different life stage, but have one thing in common: all five have MS. Eric’s MS (27) brings uncertainty. “Will I be a patient for the rest of my life? What does the future look like? Can we even think about children?” And Najat (43) ran four times a week for her diagnosis. At the moment her leg has deteriorated so much that it is no longer possible. “I try to walk a lot with the support of a cane or my husband.” On www.nationaalmsfonds.nl/faceit, the five show in a penetrating way what has happened to them since they were diagnosed with MS.
Much is still unknown about MS. Researchers don’t yet know what causes MS and how it can be cured. With the proceeds of the collection, the MS Fund invests, among other things, in innovative research to find better treatment methods. But she also coaches people to improve the quality of their lives.
