Your vital research update No images? Click here Hello, Welcome to this edition of Vitality. We are proud to announce this year's Commitment to Research. We are also featuring a video presented by Professor Lucinda Black and PhD Candidate Rebecca Russell from Curtin University on; MS Diet Research & Resources. Take a look below. Until next time, take care. This Month in Research Over the past decade MSWA has contributed over $34 million to fund research into finding the cause, better treatments and a cure for MS and other neurological conditions. We are excited and proud to announce that in the 2022/23 financial year, we are committing a further $5 million to neurological research. This new contribution means MSWA has contributed over $34 million to local, national and international research. We believe that research provides hope for people living with a neurological condition and will ultimately improve the lives of our Clients and all people supported by MSWA. Our understanding of MS and neurological conditions has improved significantly over the years. It’s thanks to Western Australians supporting our fundraising initiatives and lotteries, that we can continue to make these significant contributions. “I am delighted to continue our funding of neurological research including WA research projects which we believe will lead to finding the cause, better treatments, and hopefully one day a cure for many neurological conditions.” MSWA CEO Melanie Kiely said of the announcement.
