The Lawry Circle

Sylvia Lawry founded the National MS Society in 1946, hoping to cure her brother Bernard’s MS.

While the cure eluded her, Sylvia Lawry’s legacy is a national movement with international impact that aggressively funds breakthrough research, advocates for change, and provides programs and services that help everyone affected by MS move their lives forward.

You can help continue this legacy by becoming a member of the Lawry Circle. The Lawry Circle is a growing group of forward thinking people who know that the quest for a world free of MS must continue.
It honors donors who have informed the Society of their intention to help create a better future for the MS community by including the Society in their will, trust, or estate plans.
