For over fifty years, the National MS Society has been dedicated to its mission of mobilizing people and resources to drive research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by MS. The Indiana State Chapter of the National MS Society provides help for today--through numerous programs for families living with MS--and hope for tomorrow through national research to find a cure.

We host several local events to raise money to support our work: WalkMS, On the Move luncheon, and MS Awareness Day with the Gary SouthShore RailCats.
