Bastion Lighting Colour Red on May 29, 2026 for World MS Day

A day of global solidarity, collective action and hope World MS Day takes place on 30 May every year. Raising awareness with everyone affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often disabling autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves) where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerves, disrupting signal transmission. This damage creates scar tissue, causing unpredictable symptoms ranging from numbness and walking difficulty to vision loss and fatigue.
