What is My MS Woof?

My MS Woof is the MS Society’s October dog walking challenge. We asked you, our paw-some supporters to walk 50km, 100km or 150km throughout October.

Earlier this year, we announced that the number of people living with MS in the UK has increased to over 150,000. So, for 2024, the My MS Woof challenge was to walk, run, roll or stroll up to 150km.

2024 has been an un-fur-lievable year for My MS Woof, with 256 humans taking part and over 1,000 paws walking a fur-nomenal 12,689km this October.

We want to say a big thank you to everyone who took part, helping to raise money for ground-breaking MS research. We couldn’t do our important work without su-paw stars like you!

How your money helps

£30

will pay for the processing of one blood sample. One blood sample can give researchers crucial information which could lead to new treatments or breakthroughs in understanding what causes MS.

£50

is enough to operate a high powered microscope for an hour to study cells and tissue affected by MS at the necessary resolution.

£100

is enough to process 4 blood samples and extract information about genes and the immune system that is vital when testing out new treatments.
