National MS Society

The National MS Society mobilizes people and resources to drive research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by MS.  The Northern California Chapter serves 84,000 people affected by MS in 40 Northern California counties.  In 2011 the Society funded $39.5 million in research—research focused on stopping the progression of the disease, restoring function that’s been lost and ending the disease forever.   The Northern California Chapter is a lifeline for people living with MS, providing engaging and informative programs and services, financial assistance and opportunities for connection, community, empowerment and self-reliance.
