We will cure multiple sclerosis while empowering people affected by MS to live their best lives.

Joshua's favorite superhero doesn't wear a cape. She wears a smile — and answers to “Mom.” Joshua was diagnosed with MS at only 6, and his mom has been his fiercest advocate. But even superheroes need help. Learn about the impact your donation can make: https://t.co/Z6GtqM2YkC

Kim's daughter first started showing signs of MS in 2009, but was dismissed because she was "too young." 5 years later, in 2014, Kim's son and daughter were diagnosed with MS. The 2024 McDonald Criteria updates aim to prevent stories like Kim's: https://t.co/B8GyFTojjp

Kayla was only 4 when she was diagnosed with MS, and it took 3 doctors and several wrong diagnoses to get there. No one should have to go through that. Give by Nov. 14 and your gift will be matched to go twice as far in creating a world free of MS: https://t.co/3cFFenRTu7

Our Challenge Walk MS: Southern California participants had stunning views and a cool ocean breeze to keep them company, but it takes sheer grit and determination to take on 50 miles in 3 days. Thank you to our participants and volunteers for taking on the challenge!

Congratulations to Guiness World Records holder, Elizabeth Pehota! Last weekend at the Chicago Marathon, Elizabeth broke the world record for the fastest marathon time run by a woman with MS. It took determination, but Elizabeth proves that MS doesn't have to hold you back. 🏆

A new era in MS diagnosis is here. The 2024 McDonald Diagnostic Criteria updates help doctors find MS faster. New tools offer less invasive, more accessible options for finding evidence of MS. People often waited years for diagnosis. Now, it can be within months or even weeks.

The FDA extended its review of tolebrutinib (Sanofi, Inc.) by 3 months, setting a new target action date of Dec. 28, 2025. Tolebrutinib — an oral BTK-inhibitor — would mark the first DMT specifically to treat non-relapsing secondary progressive MS. See https://t.co/mc8s5D6zUo
