OUR
MISSION

Realising that much of the current attention is focused on more widely known diseases, Multiple System Atrophy is overlooked.  MSA patients are confronted with a dim prognosis and left with few options.  As an essential member of the MSA United Consortium, Defeat Multiple System Atrophy Canada – Vaincre L’Atrophie Multisystématisée Canada is an inclusive Canadian registered charity (number: 758784284RR0001) that aspires to balance efforts to support patients, educate medical professionals, raise public awareness, nurture promising research and advocate for the MSA community. Staffed entirely by a group of volunteers, Defeat MSA Canada – Vaincre L’AMS Canada aims to achieve a five-fold mission:

  • To build a world that truly supports people with MSA
  • To foster better medical education about MSA
  • To increase public awareness about living with MSA
  • To cultivate promising research into treatments and slowing MSA
  • To advance the interests of all people challenged by MSA

    Defeat MSA Canada – Vaincre L’AMS Canada invites all people, around the world, to join us in this noble fight: to speak for those who cannot, with one mind, one heart and one voice: to Defeat MSA forever!
