World MS Day 2023

World MS Day brings the global MS community together to share stories, raise awareness and campaign with everyone affected by MS.

ABOUT WORLD MS DAY 

World MS Day was officially marked on Tuesday, 30th May 2023. It brings the global MS community together to share stories, raise awareness and campaign with everyone affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). World MS Day activities take place throughout the month of May and in early June. 

THE WORLD MS DAY CAMPAIGN 2023 

The themes for World MS Day 2023 are ‘connections’ and “I aM Someone”. MS Ireland’s campaign this year is all about building community connection, self-connection, celebrate support networks, champion self-care and connections to quality care. 

MS Ireland is celebrating World MS Day by exploring the different faces of MS through a portrait photography campaign. We encouraged everyone to share a photo online to spotlight your journey on World MS Day using the hashtag #IaMSomeone on all social channels.

The ‘#IaMSomeone’ campaign was to show the vast reach that MS has in Ireland and allow our community members the opportunity to lend their picture and story to our vision for the day.
