Our Mission is Four-Fold
Awareness
MS Run the US raises awareness of multiple sclerosis through the power of running and community. Through the Ultra Relay, endurance events, and thousands of miles logged across the country, your support helps bring our mission into new communities and conversations. Together, we expand understanding of MS and move closer to stopping MS.

Financial Aid
Living with multiple sclerosis often brings unexpected financial strain that impacts mobility, independence, and access to care. MS Run the US provides direct financial assistance through mobility and independence support, as well as Care in Crisis funding for urgent needs.
Your partnership helps make this support possible when it’s needed most.
Dear Navigator & Staff,
I wanted to take a moment to express how appreciative and blessed I feel to receive a tremendous gift due to your hard work and dedication. Living with MS, I have a very high sensitivity to heat and cold. My stress level was at its maximum when I first reached out, unsure of what I was going to do this winter without heat.
Your willingness to go above and beyond during this difficult time truly brought me to tears. Thank you for making this possible for me—from the bottom of my heart.

Research
MS Run the US supports research that improves quality of life for individuals living with multiple sclerosis. Through collaborations with researchers such as Dr. Terry Wahls at the University of Iowa and Dr. Jacob Sosnoff at the University of Kansas, we help advance studies focused on mobility, independence, and daily function.
Your support helps further research that improves daily living and moves us closer to stopping MS.
“We don’t want people giving up on daily activities—like collecting the mail at the end of the driveway—that allow them to maintain their independence.”
Dr. Jacob Sosnoff, Brain & Life: Boost Balance to Reduce Falls and Build Confidence, August 2022
Wellbeing
MS Run the US supports those living with multiple sclerosis through community-based programs that strengthen wellbeing and foster belonging. Through Run Clubs and community connections, we create spaces for encouragement, movement, and shared experience—reminding individuals living with MS that they are not alone.
“Your support helps build connection and community, ensuring people affected by MS feel seen, supported, and included in the movement to stop MS.”
About The Relay
3260 MILES ACROSS AMERICA TO STOP MS
21 UNIQUE RUNNERS comprise an annual Relay team
13 STATES crossed by foot: CA, NV, UT, CO, NE, IA, WI, IL, IN, OH, PA, NJ, NY
2 PERSON Road Crew Teams: Relay Coach and Media Manager
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!
