Dedicate a Butterfly & Message this World MS Day

The butterfly is a powerful symbol of multiple sclerosis. An MRI image of the brain is often said to resemble the shape of a butterfly, while its many colours reflect the ever-changing symptoms and unpredictable nature of MS, and serves as a powerful reminder of resilience in facing the daily struggles of MS.

Dedicate a butterfly today in honour of someone living with MS, or a valued supporter who has made a difference on the journey. With your donation, you can leave a heartfelt message of encouragement, love, and support.

Look out for us on Socials!

World MS Day is a Saturday this year, during King’s Birthday, and we are excited to mark it with some great digital stories, keep a look out on our socials for MS Auckland’s Ambassador Sam Smith talking with whānau of people with MS.

 

For our World MS Day webinar, we are shining the spotlight on mental health

The psychological symptoms of multiple sclerosis are less discussed than the physical ones, however can be equally impactful.

For this webinar, we’ll be joined by Dr Rebecca Maguire from Maynooth University in Ireland, whose research focuses on mental health in MS and who also brings valuable lived experience as someone living with MS herself. Together with Brett Drummond, MStranslate, they will explore the latest research on mental health in MS and what steps can be taken to help improve it.
