World Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Day is marked to raise awareness and mobilise support for those living with multiple sclerosis, as well as their families and caregivers.
The theme for World MS Day 2024-2025 is diagnosis. The My MS Diagnosis campaign advocates for early and accurate diagnosis for everyone living with MS.
By participating in World MS Day, people can contribute to raising awareness about the impact of multiple sclerosis and advocating for the needs of those affected by the condition. It encourages compassion, understanding, and inclusion for people living with MS, while also highlighting the importance of research and support services in improving their quality of life.
If you or someone you know is affected by multiple sclerosis, World MS Day provides an opportunity to connect with support networks, share experiences, and access resources that can help manage the challenges associated with the condition.

Each and every day, AC Mobility honours wheelchairs; the people who use them and our employees who play an important role in creating the customised fit and function for our clients.
On March 1st – International Wheelchair Day – people across the globe also join in this celebration to honour the positive impact wheelchairs have on so many lives worldwide.
Wheelchairs give freedom to those who use them every day. The day is also a chance to consider taking positive action towards a more inclusive and accessible world.
Meet Charlie*…
The Meyra Flash has had a huge positive impact on Charlie’s* life as it still means he can mobilise independently when he fatigues or his leg gets sore in his prosthesis. The lightweight frame means Charlie* can just jump into his Flash and play with his brother and his friends without slowing down, and the easy folding mechanism makes it easy for his family to fold up and put in the boot of any car.
We look forward to bringing you more stories from our clients whose lives have been changed through their mobility and accessibility equipment
