Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Given any chronic pathology, it is an incomparable resource since it accelerates and it attenuates the duel processes, it reduces the level of initial anguish, it teaches through other people's experiences and it develops the capacity to help others.

Project Message

In these 10 years many important things have occurred, more important that the MS, we have crossed many obstacles and fears. We grew and evolved, restarting time and time again, going ahead.
- Gaby Laufer, Support group member.
