Last night, we learned that the MS Research Program (MSRP) will not receive funding for Fiscal Year 2025 due to the recent Continuing Resolution passed by Congress. This is a significant setback for our veterans and service members who rely on this vital research for answers and treatments. The MSRP has brought hope to those living with multiple sclerosis (MS), driving groundbreaking research and potential breakthroughs. This funding cut is a blow to the progress we’ve made, but MS activists will fight to restore this critical funding, and we need your support. Join us in advocating a future where we end MS: https://lnkd.in/gs9eMRfC
