The National Multiple Sclerosis Society
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society supports research intended to find the cause and cure of MS and provides services for people who have the disease. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society offers counseling, education, and equipment assistance. In addition, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society works to promote public policies that serve the needs of the estimated 400,000 people who have MS. The society operates through about 60 chapters throughout the US. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society generates most of its revenue through fundraising and boasts some 16,000 federal MS activists. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society was founded in 1946 after Sylvia Lawry ran a classified ad in "The New York Times" looking for anyone who had recovered from the disease her brother was battling.
