Multiple Sclerosis doesn't have one face it has many.

During awareness week, MS Waikato will be sharing the stories of a handful of our 293 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.

Visit the Face of MS website to read Shaun's story (one of our Faces of MS) or to make a donation.
