George Pepper is the co-founder and CEO of Shift.ms – the social network for people with MS. Founded by MSers, for MSers, the charity supports many thousands of recently diagnosed people across the world as they make sense of MS. It’s independent and it’s free.

www.Shift.ms launched in 2009 following George’s own experience of coming to terms with MS. Aged just 22, the diagnosis came at a time when George was faced with key decisions about relationships, family and career. Although diagnosis is most common when people are in their 20s and 30s, there was a lack of support for those recently diagnosed.

George is passionate about the role that we, the people living with the condition, can play in the management of our healthcare. Shift.ms has over 18,000 members from around the world.
