AUSTRALIA – In only its first week, the online gallery of photographic interpretations of multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms in the powerful new Seeing MS campaign has already received more than 600 images from over 40 countries.
Jan Staunton, Group Manager, Marketing and Communications of MS says, “It’s very encouraging to see so many images representing the symptoms of MS being uploaded. To have our community openly discussing MS and the Seeing MS project is a good start to raising awareness”.
Originally the Seeing MS app was only intended to be available in Australia, however requests quickly came in from all over the world. The app has now been downloaded in over 40 countries including the UK, USA, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, China, Argentina, Norway, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Greece, Spain and Germany.
Gerry Hanan, a US based fashion photographer who has MS is the most recent contributor to the campaign. His self-portrait for MS is an interpretation of brain fog, one of his main symptoms.
The Seeing MS project will conclude with an exhibition of the photography at the end of April.
