This Christmas, MS-UK are focusing on stopping loneliness and isolation within the MS Community, and we challenge you to help us with a sponsored gaming marathon!

Whether you’re an occasional gamer or a professional streamer, all are welcome, so grab your weapon (controller) of choice and get comfortable... it’s game time!

 

MS-UK needs your help to stop loneliness this Christmas

MS affects around 130,000 people in the UK and 2.3 million people worldwide. Living with a long-term condition that people do not understand can make it hard to stay connected. It can be difficult to maintain independence and often people struggle to reach out and ask for the support they need as a result.

MS-UK saw a 44% increase in calls to our helpline in the first month of lockdown alone and we continue to provide the MS community with essential information and emotional support when they need it most. As the Christmas period approaches, demand will be even higher and we need your support to ensure we can be here for as many people affected by MS as possible.

This is why services like the MS-UK Helpline are so essential. But it wouldn’t exist without people like you.

 

What is the challenge?

MS-UK are challenging you to take on a sponsored gaming marathon of your choice! You decide on your own game to play during any of the challenges, so whether your game be Super Mario Brothers, FIFA, League of Legends, or even Candy Crush the choice is all yours!
