The MS Limited Edition Art Union is a one of the fundraising systems put in place by the Multiple Sclerosis Society to help raise enough funds for all of its activities for people living with multiple sclerosis.
This society has been in existence for fifty (50) years now and has always rendered unqualified support services to each and everyone living with the multiple sclerosis disease. The multiple sclerosis disease is a disease that is mostly diagnosed in people between the ages of 20 years to 40 years. This is a disease that has defied all scientific researches as it has no causative agent and as at now there has been any medication that is known to treat multiple sclerosis.
This is why MS Society has kept on working tirelessly to see to it that the necessary researches are carried out in order to come out with a lasting treatment to the multiple sclerosis disease. The most alarming thing about the multiple sclerosis disease is that with the passing of each day, about 5 people hailing from only Australia are diagnosed with it. You can therefore imagine the total number of people who will be diagnosed with the disease worldwide.
Our vision
It is the vision of MS Limited Edition to see to it that all those diagnosed with multiple sclerosis disease are provided the much needed medical, physical and emotional care that they need in order to ensure that they also get the chance to live their lives to its fullest
Our goals
- To see to it that very advanced researches are conducted to find a lasting solution to the multiple sclerosis disease
- To also give each and everyone living with multiple sclerosis their best shot at living a very normal life
- It is the hope of everyone at MS Society of Queensland to find the cause of the neurological disease known as multiple sclerosis
How does the MS Society of Queensland hope to achieve such goals?
- The MS Society of Queensland in its bid to achieve the above stated goals has gone into partnership with MS Australia and MS Research Australia (MRSA). These are the three bodies that are working hand-in-hand currently to find the causes of the multiple sclerosis disease and also find a permanent cure for all who have been diagnosed as having the multiple sclerosis disease.
- The money gotten from all the fundraising activities are what MS Society of Queensland uses in seeing to it that people with multiple sclerosis disease get all the much needed support services that will guarantee these people a shot at living a normal life free from any discriminations or challenges.

The MS Society has been able to run all its charitable activities relating to those living with multiple sclerosis through certain fundraising activities. These fundraising activities include the following;
