Share Your Story!

This is your chance to tell your story! We are looking for people with MS, family members and friends to share their personal experiences with MS. With your permission, we will create personalized story cards that will be distributed to legislators to serve as an educational tool to help them learn more about MS and ways to join the movement®.

If you are willing to share your story, please click here to complete a few questions. The Ohio Buckeye Chapter will be in contact with you to follow up on the information you provided and to get consent before we disclose any information.

At the National MS Society, we relentlessly advocate for federal, state, and local government change essential to people with MS. We must work together to break down barriers to care, improve access to quality health services, and make MS therapies more affordable. We must fight for disability rights, MS research funding, and long-term care resources.

We are activists. We make MS issues national priority issues. We share our personal stories. And we ask our public officials for change that benefits people living with MS and others with disabilities and chronic illnesses.

Change happens through MS activism. Join the Movement® today!
