Living With It Every Day

I live with multiple sclerosis every day. It is a devastating disease that challenges not just the body and mind, but the spirit too. There isn’t an upside to MS. It’s hard, it’s frustrating, and if you let it, it can take away movement, independence, and freedom. Beyond the physical toll, there is often misunderstanding and judgment from others, something that adds weight to an already heavy burden.

Why This Work Matters

But that is exactly why this work exists.

Our Purpose

Upside MS was never about pretending everything happens for a reason. It was built out of necessity to push back against the limits this condition tries to impose. To look beyond symptom management and start focusing on real solutions that improve quality of life.

Our Focus

This is not about false hope. It is about tangible change.

What Drives Us

Upside MS is driven by the belief that we can do more, together. We are here to advocate for better options, to design programs and tools that make a difference, and to create a space where people feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Personal to the Core

For me, this work is personal. It is about refusing to settle. It is about proving that even in the toughest circumstances, there is always a way forward.

Challenge Accepted

There isn’t an upside to this disease. So let’s create one.
