Realising that much of the current attention is focused on more widely known diseases, Multiple System Atrophy is overlooked. MSA patients are confronted with a dim prognosis and left with few options. Defeat Multiple System Atrophy Australia and New Zealand is an inclusive organisation that seeks to serve all people with MSA and their carers in Australia and New Zealand. It aspires to balance efforts to support patients, educate medical professionals, raise public awareness and nurture promising research. Staffed entirely by volunteers, Defeat MSA Down Under aims to achieve a four-fold mission: ~ To build a community that truly serves those that suffer from MSA. ~ To cultivate promising research into treatments and slowing MSA. ~ To nurture better education of health professionals about MSA. ~ To raise greater public awareness about living with MSA. Defeat MSA Down Under invites all other like-minded individuals around the world, to join us in this noble fight: to speak for those who cannot, with one mind, one heart and one voice: to Defeat MSA forever!
