Don’t forget to tune in to BBC1 at 5.05pm today to hear Jack Osbourne talk about living with MS for the first time on UK TV.
The TV personality found out he had MS in 2012 and describes diagnosis as his “scariest moment”.
Jack will be appealing for people to donate to the MS Society. The money we raise will be spent across the MS Society’s work, including our groundbreaking research programme, our helpline and our grants for family breaks and vital equipment.
