Multiple Sclerosis, a chronic and often disabling disease, attacks the central nervous system. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and symptoms of MS in any one person cannot be predicted. Advances in research and treatment are giving hope to those affected by the disease through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Founded in 1946, the NMSS supports more MS research than any national voluntary not-for-profit organization in the world. It remains the only one to meet the standards of all groups that rate not-for-profit.

NMSS members consist of people with MS, their family members, concerned friends and neighbors, and health-care professionals. As the world's largest private funder of MS research through local, state, and national advocacy programs, the Society serves as a voice for Americans with MS.
