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!
