The Blue Ridge Chapter raises funds through events such as Walk MS, Bike MS, Women on the Move Luncheons, MS Dinner of Champions and many others, to ensure ongoing scientific research to find a cause, advanced treatments, and a cure for multiple sclerosis. These funds also provide for vital programs and services offered by the chapter to the more than 6,000 people battling MS in 51 counties in Virginia, the state of West Virginia, and in eastern Kentucky. These programs and services include: information and referral, education, scholarship programs, health and wellness programs, family and social support services, programs designed to address accessibility issues, long-term care assistance and much more.
For more than 60 years the National MS Society, with its nationwide network of chapters, has moved to create a world free of MS and improve the quality of life for those affected by MS. Through the work of chapters, the Society funds research, provides services, furthers education and promotes public policy development on behalf of the 400,000 Americans living with MS. Since its founding the Society has invested more than $600 million to find the cause, treatments, and a cure for multiple sclerosis.
With the help of people like you – our event participants, donors, volunteers and corporate partners -- the Blue Ridge Chapter is able to work steadfastly on our mission to mobilize people and resources to drive research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by MS.
MS stops people from moving.
We exist to make sure it doesn’t.
