MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn't. We help each person address the challenges of living with MS through our 50 state network of chapters. We fund more MS research, provide more services to people with MS, offer more professional education and further more advocacy efforts than any other MS organization in the world.
The Society is dedicated to achieving a world free of MS. We are people who want to do something about MS now.

The Stand Against MS
The Stand Against MS is a fun way to involve friends, families and co-workers in raising money and awareness for multiple sclerosis. During the month of August families across North Florida will set up old-fashioned lemonade stands and donate all the proceeds raised back to the North Florida Chapter. We provide you with a start up kit including lemonade. Each stand will choose the time and location during the week which works best. Stands can be set up in front of your home, office, church, community pool, or in front of a local business......anywhere!
Walk MS
By participating in Walk MS you will know that you have shared a remarkable experience with over 250,000 participants who have also walked in more than 600 cities nationwide. More importantly, you will be making difference in the lives of the people affected by MS in the North Florida area by raising essential funds for research and local programs and services.
Women on the Move Luncheon

The lunch program will include information about multiple sclerosis and how the National MS Society serves those living with the disease in North Florida.
MS Mud Run Jacksonville
Mud Run is a 10K (approximately 6 miles) race with boot camp style obstacles that have been surrounded by or consist entirely of mud. People cheer as teams of contestants slip, slide, and sloshed their way to victory. It is a unique experience whether running or watching!

Students With Hidden Disabilities Sought for Research Project
Researchers at the University of Southern Main are conducting a study documenting students’ with hidden disabilities experiences and stories of disclosing, or not disclosing, their disability, at their postsecondary educational settings. This is an exciting study, as these stories have never been documented, yet they are experiences which when shared will create a better understanding for people without hidden disabilities of what it is like for people with hidden disabilities at a postsecondary educational setting. With this increased knowledge, we can work towards creating safer and more open educational environments for students with hidden disabilities. For more information about the study or the researchers conducting the study, please contact Julie R. Alexandrin at jalexandrin@usm.maine.edu or Ilana Lyn Schreiber at ischreibe@hotmail.com.
