“MS can be lonely, as it’s not always a disability you can see and therefore people don’t always get it. But MS Together connected me with some of the most inspiring and incredible people.”

“Having a community of people who just ‘get it’ has been amazing. I’ve felt less alone, seen and supported and MS Together has definitely gotten me through the years since diagnosis.”

I felt full of joy

“I was looking for a hopeful MS support group, a place for young people who have hope and excitement and joy (so often people look at us like we're doomed). I just felt so full of joy - because it's the first time I was in a space where people understood me, were optimistic while also being able to commiserate about some things and compare our different experiences. Honestly, thank you so much, this was something I had dreamed of since my diagnosis.”
