Charity: Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis

Overcoming MS is the world’s leading MS healthy lifestyle charity. We help people with MS to live well by making informed lifestyle choices, and bringing hope that living well with MS is possible. The charity has been at the forefront of promoting an evidence-based approach to the self-management of MS using healthy lifestyle choices alongside medication since its inception in 2012. Our vision is a world in which living a full and healthy life with MS is possible for everyone. At the heart of Overcoming MS is a self-management program for people with MS, devised to support their physical and mental health, based on clear, practical actions. The 7 pillars – created by Professor George Jelinek using the research into the impacts of lifestyle on MS – are diet, vitamin D/sunlight, physical activity, stress management, medication, family health and changing your life for life.
