World MS Day is officially marked on the 30 May each year. Events and campaigns take place throughout the month of May. It brings together the global MS community together to share stories, raise awareness and campaign with and for everyone affected by multiple sclerosis.

The 2018 campaign will be called #bringuscloser and the theme is research.

In 2009, the MS International Federation (MSIF), and its members initiated the first World MS Day.

The central campaign message and theme for World MS Day is developed by staff at the MS International Federation together with an international working group. The working group is drawn from our network of MS organisations and currently has representatives from India, UK, Egypt, Ireland, Argentina, Spain, Greece, Australia, and the USA.
