Time Matters with MS

During awareness week, MS Waikato will be sharing the stories of a handful of our 306 clients whose lives are impacted by Multiple Sclerosis.  MS Waikato are providing support, education, information and advocacy services for not only MS clients and their family/whanau and carers; but also Huntington’s Disease too, service provision is throughout the greater Waikato and Coromandel region.

Our Time Matters Awareness Week campaign is designed to highlight the importance of early diagnosis for long-term brain health. At the same time, we want to show people not to judge others by their physical appearance and abilities, and to educate people that many MS symptoms are unseen.
