About

The Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to curing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) by determining the cause of MS.

We believe the route to finding the cure will most quickly come from determining the cause or causes of MS. The causes will be found by developing a logical, organized, straight-forward process based on what is known about the causes of disease in general. This process must be clearly spelled out and presented in a manner that is accessible to those involved: researchers, clinicians, and individuals with MS.

We call the plan that is emerging from this process the "Cure Map."

The development and execution of the Cure Map is supported by:

• A top notch Scientific Advisory Board
• An Information Portal to distribute information on MS, the Cure Map, and related materials
• Fundraising efforts to pay for the development of the Cure Map
• A Community, both online and off, of our constituency

Our constituency includes:

Individuals with MS and their families - Involving and educating those who are most affected by MS as to what is known, what is being done, and what should be done is critical. Ultimately it is people with MS and their loved ones who are responsible for promoting the efforts for a cure.

Clinicians treating individuals with MS and researchers working on areas related to MS - We collect all the news and information on MS that we can. We make this information available in a single, easy-to-use forum called MSNews so that it is not difficult to keep up to date with what is happening in the world of MS.

Other nonprofit MS organizations - We share our research, framework, and technology with any organization who can help people with MS. It is important for any beneficial information or technology to reach as many people as necessary.
