It was a pleasure for us at My MS Family to visit City Hall and receive a generous donation.

We are deeply grateful for this contribution, which will help us continue providing hope, support, and essential resources to those affected by multiple sclerosis. This donation will further our mission and make a lasting difference in the lives of many within our community.

 

Who We Are…

We are teachers, bus drivers, lawyers, truckers, doctors, students, politicians, and other every-day people. We are historically impacted by this disease mostly in our career and family-building years but in our youth and childhood as well in recent decades. Three quarters of us are women, one quarter men and all of us experience this illness in our own unique ways.
