Why do we need stories, photos and videos?
MS International Federation uses stories, photos and videos in a range of ways to inspire, mobilise and bring the world together to improve the quality of life of everybody affected by MS. Being able to show people with MS and their families through stories and visual materials such as photos and videos helps us to demonstrate some of the human realities of the condition. They are extremely valuable when we campaign for change and increased awareness of MS, provide information resources and raise vital funds. Thank you for your help!
