Each year, we organise a national fundraiser to raise funds for MS Together whilst encouraging our community to get active and work together to achieve a goal.
This year we’re excited to announce, our first Move Together for MS fundraiser is: 130K for the 130K!
It’s estimated there are over 130,000 people living with MS in the UK. So this May, we’re asking YOU to run, walk, roll or stroll 130 kilometres.
Or if you want to do another activity to complete your 130 kilometres, that’s fine too!
If you think 130 kilometres is too far for you to complete on your own, why not get your friends, family or colleagues to share the distance and take on the challenge with you? Get a team together because after all, together we are stronger.

Why should I get involved?
In the UK there are approximately 7000 more people being diagnosed with MS each year. Of these 7000, we estimate that approximately 40% will be under the age of 35.
MS Together is a new UK-based charity that exists to support services of advice and support to people affected by MS, with a particular focus on those aged 18-35 living with MS.
We’re aiming to raise £10,000 to help improve and expand our services which will include:
- Launching a counselling service which will provide group and 1-to-1 support to those who need additional support
- Expanding our in-person events to bring together more people and reduce social isolation within the MS community
- Creating highly sought after information resources on topics requested by our community
