CHALLENGE MS: Donate to MS Research
Your gift will help us find better treatments for multiple sclerosis through research, improving the lives of people with MS.

Research discoveries lead to recoveries. Together, our goal is to raise $20,000 to establish a MS Research Master's Scholarship, for a student who will work in leading MS immunologist’s Anne La Flamme’s lab. Your support will make a real difference to the 4,000+ New Zealanders living with this devastating disorder.
Thank you for your belief in the power and potential of MS research to improve lives.
