There are over 130,000 people in the UK living with MS, with 100+ people diagnosed each week. 

MS is most commonly diagnosed in people in their 20s and 30s and is the most common central nervous system condition in young adults. MS Together exist to raise awareness of MS and provide advice and support to people affected by MS. Their main focus is to provide much needed support for young people living with MS.

They enable connections to be made via their private online groups and they also organise a number of virtual and in-person events. And they offer one-to-one support sessions delivered by trained mental health first aiders, for anyone who needs extra support.

Amy is the founder of MS Together, being diagnosed with MS just after her 21st birthday. Together with her pals we are taking on the Manchester Half Marathon to raise money for a charity which continues to create safe and supportive place for those diagnosed with MS.
