Story
Perrigo has launched a global company initiative in support of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Patients through the Kiss Goodbye to MS Global Campaign
Worldwide there are over 2.3 million people living with MS and around two thirds are female. It is usually first diagnosed when people are between the ages of 20 and 40, just when people are trying to start careers and families. It is a chronic and unpredictable disease that needs serious solutions.
Each of our global sites will organise their individual fund raising events so be sure and check back to see the photos;
Did you know:
- €25 or $27 provides an hour of care for an MS patient in a care centre
- €65 or $70 pays for an hour of physiotherapy which can improve or maintain a patient's ability to remain independent
- €125 or $136 covers the cost of series of confidential counseling sessions to help patients and their families coping with MS
- €500 or $545 funds some of the experiments researchers do to help better understand MS
Perrigo Company plc has launched its fundraising campaign with a very generous donation of $20,000 and has challenged its employees to come together and help match that donation and they will make a further donation of $10,000.
Please support us to fund vital research into the causes, treatments and possible cures for MS, as well as help for patients living with the disease now. Every contribution no matter how big or small will help make a difference and will be greatly appreciated.
