BY MSERS, FOR MSERS
Shift.ms was started in 2009 by our CEO George Pepper, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 22
George co-founded Shift.ms to fill an urgent lack of support for younger people with MS
Shift.ms remains the only UK MS charity that has the voice of people with MS at every level of the organisation
