"Having a Buddy gave me a friend. A life-line. A path through a lot of confusion” - MSer Rebecca on the importance of the Buddy Network. Through the Buddy Network, we connect newly diagnosed MSers in need of support with more experienced MSers like Mike. It may sound simple, but this kind of 1-1 support can have a profound impact on someone's ability to proactively manage their MS. Evie and Rebecca are two MSers who've found support and life-long friendship through the Buddy Network. "It has given purpose to the very thing I thought would take everything. After fourteen years I didn’t think buddying would have an impact on my relationship with my own MS, my own body, but I was wrong. Buddying has been a cathartic and ‘full circle’ experience," says Evie. As Shift.ms's community grows, so does the need to support more people. Through our new app we'll be able to grow the Buddy Network and offer easy, fast 1-1 support. If you can, please spare a few pennies to support our One Tap Connection appeal and help to create a more connected future. To support the appeal, please visit: https://shift.ms/otc Thank you 💚
