Our Mission is Three-Fold
Awareness
Each summer, MS Run the US campaigns for MS awareness by covering over 7,200 miles of terrain with our vehicles, staff, and runners. We run to STOP MS, and our gear, equipment and in-person conversations clearly communicate our mission.
“MS is unpredictable and, in some cases, disabling where strengths and weaknesses vary daily. The one thing we all have in common is that we run for those who can’t and we are fighting this fight together to raise awareness and fund research so that one day, in our lifetime, we witness a cure.”
Ally Kanter, MS Run the US Relay Team Alumni
Financial Aid
Living with MS isn’t easy. We hear many stories about how our financial aid contributions to individuals is deeply impactful.
Ronnie needed a motorized ceiling lift to enable him to get out of bed and into his wheelchair on his own. Before the ceiling lift, Ronnie relied on his brother, who lives next door, to help him get out of bed and into his wheelchair. This was difficult because his brother has a young family and responsibilities of his own, making it impossible to do long-term. With the new lift, Ronnie is independent and grateful for this.
Research
MS Run the US is pleased to support research that improves the quality of life and symptoms those affected by MS. The organization has collaborated with Dr. Terry Wahls at the University of Iowa and Dr. Jacob Sosnoff at the University of Kansas.

I’ve run the Relay twice – both years were life changing and unique experiences.
“The running, the fundraising, the people, the mission — all are powerful on their own, but when we put them all together, it’s an unstoppable force that is making an impact in ending MS forever.
Finding the Relay was exactly what I needed. It gave me HOPE to keep going and the reminder that I’m still an athlete. MS can’t take that away from me!
