Kop van Noord-Holland – Multiple Sclerosis is a progressive disease of the nervous system and the most disabling disease among young people. The cause is unknown and there is no cure yet. The dream of the National MS Fund is a future without MS. That is why they are looking for collectors who want to go door-to-door in the week from June 27 to July 2 to collect money. There are several ways to raise money. Who helps?
MS is a disease of the central nervous system. The layer around the nerves (myelin) is attacked and damaged by the body’s own immune system. The nerves become exposed, so that they transmit signals to and from the brain less well or even not at all. People with MS can suddenly experience paralysis or loss of body functions. All kinds of complaints arise, for example when seeing, walking or talking. There are more than 25,000 people with MS in the Netherlands. Young people between the ages of 20 and 40 are particularly affected by this disease. They are in the prime of their lives and face an uncertain future.
Collect
With the proceeds of the collection, the National MS Fund makes scientific research possible into the cause of and the solution for MS. They are also committed to continuously improving the quality of life of people with MS and their care. For more information, see the website www.nationaalmsfonds.nl.
Everyone can contribute to this by collecting for the National MS Fund. Participants decide for themselves how and for how long they collect. There is a suitable way for everyone. This is possible with a collection box passing the doors in the area, but it is also possible at home on the couch via mobile phone to collect money from acquaintances via a payment request.
How does it work?
Register as a collector in the MS Collecteweek or more information? Then look at www.nationaalmsfonds.nl/collecteren† Of course you can also take action now. Then create a digital collection box on www.digicollect.nationaalmsfonds.nl† This way people can collect all year round.
