Posted on May 16th, 2012

With two weeks to go until World MS Day (WMSD) 2012, we are revealing our second riddle. The riddle is a video message which helps viewers to unfold an answer to a mystery. Watch the video below to see if you can work out the answer for this week’s riddle.

 

 


This riddle highlights that the most common time to be diagnosed with MS is between the ages of 25 to 31.

This is also the time that many people undergo major life changing events such as meeting life partners and starting a family, moving home or starting a career.
