**Discover. Innovate. Act.**

We have a bold vision of a world free of multiple sclerosis (MS). Our mission is to connect and empower the MS community to create positive change and you can be part of that

Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, with an estimated 90,000 Canadians living with the disease. We are privileged to be a part of a determined group of change agents who are working tirelessly to create a world free of MS. Some 1,500 Canadians affected by MS serve as leadership volunteers on key committees and an estimated 13,500 volunteers work tirelessly delivering programs, fundraising events, public awareness campaigns and social action activities.

Through discoveries, innovation, and collective action, we will work together to alleviate the uncertainty that MS causes, help provide accessible options for disease management, and reach out to partners to eliminate physical and social barriers in our communities.

Our strategy not only lays out the roadmap in our journey to create a world free of MS, but we hope it also provides inspiration for all in the MS community to connect and collaborate to advance treatment and care, enhance well-being, understand and halt disease progression, and prevent MS from happening.
