about the

Defeat MSA Awareness Shoe – #KickMSA

 

The Defeat MSA Awareness Shoe ™ has traveled to dozens of countries, rubbed shoulders with some notable people and visited many famous landmarks. The Shoe is a tool for spreading MSA awareness, increasing support for MSA patients and their caregivers and fighting MSA by raising vital research dollars. It’s journey is undertaken in memory of all those that have died due to MSA and in support of all those presently fighting Multiple System Atrophy!

To date, the Shoe has “Kicked MSA” in a dozen countries across the world.

As of 2023, our beloved Shoe is kicking MSA in New Zealand. If you are in New Zealand and you interested in having the Shoe stop by, send us an email: info@defeatmsa.org.nz

We will do our best to include you in the schedule!

Please email us: director@defeatmsa.org.nz

“MSA United charities were formed to give voice to those affected by this little known, devastating disease. Indescribable grief and suffering has been channeled into positive action to help fund crucial research and provide ongoing support for those dealing with MSA. Each one of the charities are worthwhile organisations. I hope to see each of them continue to grow and reach more and more people in need.”

 

Elena Fracassa, MS

“All the charities associated with Defeat MSA are committed to the funding of clinical research, that kind which is most valuable to patients living with MSA today. They are also dedicated to supporting patients, educating medical professionals and raising public awareness. This disease does not have a marathon or a 5k run; instead they use an intriguing device: a traveling shoe in a symbolic marathon to spread awareness within the medical community and among the general public about this devastating disease.”
