Challenge 28. Short month, big challenge

What is Challenge 28?

Challenge 28 is your chance to stay active, connect with a supportive virtual community, and raise crucial funds to help stop MS.

It’s your challenge, so do it your way! Your 28 minutes doesn’t have to be all at once – break it up throughout the day if that suits you better. Whether you’re walking, rolling or strolling around your neighbourhood, getting on your bike, or swimming your way through the month, every minute counts.

Join us in this inspiring journey to support the MS community – together, we can move closer to a world without MS!

How your money helps

Lab researcher looking into a microscope

£50

Is enough to operate a high-powered microscope for an hour to study cells and tissue affected by MS at the necessary resolution.

Lab researcher using equipment

£100

Is enough to process four blood samples and extract information about genes and the immune system that is vital when testing out new treatments.

Lab researcher working at a large computer

£250

Is enough to run an MRI scanner for an hour and provide the detailed images of the brain crucial for understanding MS progression. We're currently funding projects that use MRI scanners to carry out trials and understand MS in more detail.

Stop MS Appeal

By 2025, we want to be in the final stages of testing treatments for everyone with MS. Treatments that slow or stop disability progression. We believe £100 million could take us to a future where no one has to worry about MS getting worse. That’s where you come in!
