Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurological disorder among young adults and often results in a handicap. It is an auto-immune disease in which the body attacks its own tissues. The immune attack in MS targets the central nervous system. The lesions are well-localised and are called “plaques”.
The two major research pathways that could change the future of people with multiple sclerosis, confirm themselves and a life where MS becomes a treatable and controllable condition comes a step closer.
There are many ways to support research: on the occasion of a wedding, a birthday, a neighbors' party, a BBQ, being sponsored during a race or a walk. It's all up to you: our "Action" platform is waiting for you here.
The 104 runners of the Charcot team of the 20 k - Brussels 2019, set an example: together they raised enough money to fund 155 days of research in multiple sclerosis! The next edition of the 20 km will take place on May 31, 2020 and registration will begin on December 15, 2019.
Twice a year, the Charcot Foundation publishes a Bulletin which wants to be the objective reflection of research and last acquisitions in Multiple sclerosis as well in the field of our knowledge of the disease as of the new treatments under study
