Does your child have MS? Are you a young person with MS? Although MS is typically thought of as an adult-onset disease, some children and teens are diagnosed. Kids Get MS Too is a program designed just for young people with MS and their families. It is a chance to talk with other children, teens and families in a similar situation, meet chapter staff, have some fun and learn something new.
Learn more about living with pediatric MS as a family. Socialize with other families while enjoying fun activities. As always, siblings and/or a friend are welcome to join in the fun!
