Help people with Multiple Sclerosis get outdoors

Mastering Mountains exists to enrich the lives of people affected by Multiple Sclerosis by helping them get outdoors.

As an expression of this mission, Mastering Mountains Charitable Trust has two primary goals. First, Mastering Mountains seeks to raise money for a scholarship that helps people affected by Multiple Sclerosis. Successful applicants are awarded a sum will enable them to overcome a specific obstacle that prevents them from getting into the outdoors.

Second, the Mastering Mountains Charitable Trust aims to help change the general perception of Multiple Sclerosis in New Zealand, encouraging people to continue outdoor pursuits, even after being diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis.

To achieve these aims, Mastering Mountains Charitable Trust is fundraising for the scholarship and engages social media to help change the perceptions of Multiple Sclerosis.

The scholarship will be advertised through the MS Society's newsletters and magazines. Applications for the grant will be considered by the trustees.

This project has the full support of Multiple Sclerosis Central Districts.
