Multiple Sclerosis (MS) affects around 85,000 people in the UK, and it is the most common disabling neurological condition affecting young adults.

MS is the result of damage to myelin - a protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres of the central nervous system.

When myelin is damaged, this interferes with messages between the brain and other parts of the body.

For some people, MS is characterised by periods of relapse and remission while for others it has a progressive pattern. For everyone, it makes life unpredictable.

The MS Society provides respite care, help/info lines, grants for home adaptations and mobility aids, education & training, specialist MS nurses and a wide range of information. The Society also funds a range of different research projects dedicated to finding a cure or significantly improving the lives of all those touched by MS.

And why are The Pukka Chukkas supporting the MS Society? Well, one of our key players has relapsing-remitting MS - if that player can ride an elephant in Nepal in a game of polo, you can donate something to the MS Society!

To Donate online, please go to our dedicated, secure, website which can be found at Justgiving.com or, if you are an Australian taxpayer, please go to Mycause.com.au
