4 2013 MS SOCIETY IMPACT REPORT FASTER PATHS TO MS RESEARCH

With a refreshed commitment to hearing the voices of people affected by MS via the Renewal Initiative in 2012, the MS Society of Canada facilitated seven research priorities discussions, which brought together Canadians affected by MS and researchers to discuss the future of MS research. During these discussions, we heard clearly that accelerating the pace of research is just as important as research itself. Taking action, the MS Society established a $1 million fund with the Centre for Drug Research and Development (CDRD). Through this collaboration, the MS Society and CDRD will leverage resources to identify promising scientific discoveries and speed up their development into effective treatments, and ultimately a cure, for MS. Visit mssociety.ca/research for more information on the partnership. The MS Society continues to support a diverse portfolio of research areas, such as repair, cause, progression and therapies. In 2013, we celebrated new discoveries in stem cell research and myelin repair.

8 2013 MS SOCIETY IMPACT REPORT THE WAY FORWARD: Enhancing care and support

In 2013, after five years of sector collaboration, the Government of Alberta announced The Way Forward: its commitment to providing Albertans affected by MS with streamlined access to a comprehensive system of care, services and support. Through partnerships and better communication between provincial agencies and community organizations, The Way Forward will create an integrated system of support for Albertans living with MS that includes family and friends, healthcare providers, community supports and specialized services.

Taking place in Quebec City, more than 2,500 participants raised close to $160,000 for MS research. In 2014, this event will expand to take place in Estrie and Quebec City in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia (under the name Muck MS). Muck MS is a 5km obstacle course that challenges participants to crawl, jump, slide and wade through mud to reach the finish line. The event is a team challenge where family and friends can get together to get muddy, have fun and raise funds to end MS. Visit muckms.ca for more information.

10!0 2013 MS SOCIETY IMPACT REPORT INVESTMENT & GROWTH: To serve Canadians better

In 2013, the MS Society refocused its investments in core fundraising events to enhance sustainability of critical local fund development activities. To ensure that we continue to innovate within Canada’s competitive fundraising environment, we established new sources of revenue through events like Totale Bouette while re-investing in our MS Walk program to improve long-term capacity to support research, programs and services in communities across Canada. Through a diverse fundraising portfolio, MS Society initiatives engage with members of the community who ensure that support for MS research and programs continues to grow.

Advances in treatments for relapsing-remitting MS over the past decade have been remarkable, and people affected by MS would like to see the same for progressive forms of MS. Currently, there are no disease-modifying therapies for progressive MS. The following graphic highlights the number of MS Society operating grants that seek to benefit people living with progressive MS.
