The May 50K

The May 50K is a dynamic initiative aimed at raising awareness and funds for multiple sclerosis (MS) research and support. With approximately 36,000 individuals affected by MS in the Netherlands and an estimated 2.8 million worldwide, the organization strives for a world without this challenging condition. Led by Stichting MS Research in collaboration with the MS International Federation, The May 50K invites participants to engage in physical activity throughout May 2025, encouraging individuals, teams, and corporate groups to collectively walk or run a distance of at least 50 kilometers.

By participating, individuals not only contribute to vital research aimed at unraveling the causes of MS and improving treatment options, but also play a crucial role in advocating for better access to care and support. The initiative promotes patient-centered approaches to research and healthcare, ensuring that the needs of those living with MS are prioritized. Through their efforts, The May 50K hopes to enhance global understanding and treatment accessibility for all those affected by MS, regardless of their location.
