“Don’t limit your challenges. Challenge your limits.” Many ask the question “Why me?”, some blame others for their misfortune, others give up, then there are those who overcome and conquer. That is the exact type of attitude we would like to instill in every participant that attends our event. Multiple Sclerosis in itself is a truly debilitating disease that takes over one’s Central Nervous System, however this disease does not define them. What these individuals go through on a daily basis is incredible in itself, never mind the feats many of them achieve on top of that. With our name “MS is BS”, we are in no way discrediting the disease, but instead we are commending every single individual with the disease that wakes up each day with a smile on their face, ready to take on the challenges of life.
We started as MS is BS Dracut back in 2015 and at the time, our goal was to fundraise for other Multiple Sclerosis charities. Since then, our fundraising approach changed and we brought our fundraising in house to support local MS patients through our grant program. These grants changed our vision and with that, we decided to change our name to MS is BS New England to exemplify exactly who we are and who we support.
Multiple Sclerosis affects people in the prime of their lives, between the ages of 20 and 50. Every hour someone is newly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and more than 2.5 million people worldwide live with this unpredictable disease. The symptoms of MS are different for everyone - the only certainty is that it will affect yet another person every hour of every day. Currently there is no cure for MS, which is why we felt the need to not only make an impact in the Multiple Sclerosis community but also throughout New England through fundraising events.
