Support People Living with MS

Dear [Decision Maker],

Nearly 1 million Americans live with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) two times more than previously thought! As an MS activist and your constituent, I want to add my voice to the nearly 300 MS Activists on Capitol Hill this week, to request your support on the following:



1) Supporting sustained federal investment in MS research in fiscal year 2020 by providing:

-$16 million for the MS Research Program at the Department of Defense (DoD)

-$41.6 billion for the National Institutes of Health (NIH)

-Reauthorization of the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI);

2) Making MS medications more affordable; and

3) Protecting people with MS from surprise medical bills.





MS is a chronic, inflammatory immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system. It is among the most common causes of neurological disability in young adults. Symptoms vary from person to person and range from numbness and tingling, to walking difficulties, fatigue, dizziness, pain, depression, blindness and paralysis.



Your support helps ensure that people with MS can live their best lives while bringing us closer to a world free of MS.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
