To encourage innovative research into highly promising areas and to improve MS patient care, the National MS Society launched the Promise: 2010 Campaign. This nationwide effort fueled by local MS chapters will raise at least $35 million to fund four targeted areas that hold great potential in the fight against the effects of MS, but which have so far been under-explored.
