Are you up for the challenge and ready for the ride of your life? Our fully supported events not only connect you to more than 100,000 other riders but also to a growing movement to end multiple sclerosis. MS stops people from moving. Together, we can make sure it doesn't.
	You can bring us closer to a world free of MS! Walk MS is fun with an important purpose. We unite as a community during Walk MS to make a powerful statement —to keep us moving toward a cure.

The premier gala event of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society honors many of America’s most prestigious corporate leaders and corporations. This fundraising evening honors those who have made an impact on the business, philanthropic and civic communities of Kansas City and St. Joseph.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT

MS stops people from moving. We exist to make sure it doesn't. The Mid America Chapter of the National MS Society is a community of individuals who are committed to achieving a world free of MS. We provide comprehensive support services and educational programs to people with MS, their family and friends, and raise funds locally to support the National MS Society’s research initiatives.

Self Help Groups

Self-help groups bring together people who share a common life experience, for support, education, and mutual aid. Members of self-help groups share a belief that positive personal change happens through individual efforts with the support of others. Click here to learn more.

Traveling Turkeys

November is National Caregivers’ Month. Taking care of loved ones is the ultimate act of love and affection. Although most people never plan for it, each year thousands of family members and friends step up and take on enormous personal responsibility by becoming caregivers. The Mid America Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society will send their thanks to caregivers all across Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri through Traveling Turkeys: Giving Thanks for Giving Care. This year, we hope to deliver 100 Thanksgiving meals with all the trimmings to individuals living with MS and their caregivers. This program allows us to alleviate the stresses, both physically and financially, of preparing a holiday meal for our clients and their caregivers. It is our way of thanking those who are committed to helping people living with MS.
