As you know, the MS movement is powerful. It’s made up of people just like you who are making a profound difference – together and individually. But some people have been wondering what happens next.
As our Chapter grows, we are holding true to our beliefs by relentlessly pursuing every opportunity to better the lives of people with MS, to demand progress and to inspire our community to help us keep the movement going strong.
We are all moving towards this goal together and we hope you will imagine even more unique and personal ways that you can bring the MS movement to life in our Chapter community, in your hometown and in the lives of others – every day.
Share your best ideas, inspire people with your commitment, tell your story and pass on what you’ve learned. When we collectively raise these beliefs, we all become part of important and meaningful change – the next step in the MS movement.Patty Shepherd-BarnesPRESIDENT, National MS Society, Greater Northwest Chapter
THE NATIONAL MS SOCIETY, GREATER NORTHWEST CHAPTER educates, inspires and empowers those affected by multiple sclerosis. We create innovative programs to meet the needs of people with MS and their families, host exciting fundraising events to give supporters a meaningful role in the MS movement, and fund cutting-edge research into treatments and a cure. With a passion for bringing about a world free of MS, we help everyone affected by the disease to live richer, healthier, more independent lives.
Headquartered in Seattle with offices in Anchorage and Billings, the Chapter serves over 12,000 people living with MS and more than 72,000 others including friends, caregivers and health care professionals in Alaska, Montana, Central and Western Washington. We are an affiliate of the National MS Society, which was founded in 1946.

“The 2010 Alaska Bike MS Ride was a wonderful event. Tremendously well organized, and strengthened by the involvement of literally hundreds of volunteers, feeding us and ringing their cowbells.”Ivan Moore, Bike MS Ride participant
“In the next few years, I would love to be more active with health care policy as a whole, eventually going back to school for a related Master’s degree or even Law School. None of these aspirations could have been possible without the National MS Society’s scholarship program I was so lucky to receive!”Adam McDaniel, scholarship recipient

n Expanded our Chapter in January to serve the state of Alaska and in turn, our name changed to better represent our new community — the Greater Northwest Chapter. Our Chapter is now even larger as we just expanded to serve Montana as of October 1.
n Supported the development of the first oral disease-modifying treatment approved by the FDA for people with relapsing-remitting MS by contributing $1.2 million towards promising research efforts.
n Enhanced funding for three Society approved research projects in Washington state to explore the correlation between bone marrow transplants and remissions, the prevalence and risk factors contributing to caregiver abuse and the potential of self-hypnosis as a pain management therapy for depression and chronic pain affecting people living with MS.
n Mobilized activists from Alaska and Washington to lobby Congress to create a national MS registry, a confidential database to help scientists better track the incidence and prevalence of MS and other neurological disorders. This will improve the efficiency of current research and provide direction for future scientists to better understand and ultimately cure MS.
n Launched the Is It MS? awareness campaign, aimed to speed up the time it takes to get a diagnosis — and to get help.
n Raised awareness in our communities during MS Awareness Week with the launch of “Try on MS.” Volunteers living with MS asked shoppers at local malls to try on MS and the different symptoms of the disease using everyday props to double vision, challenge walking ability and more.
n Enhanced our support to people with MS by improving access to valuable resources with community partners such as ElderHealth, Aging & Long Term Care, Financial Education Partners, MultiFaith Works, Alaska MS Center, UWTV and more.
n Provided critical financial assistance by helping people with MS with guidance, referrals and resources to help contain the financial impact of MS.
n Continued our valuable Care Management Program, helping to connect individuals to the right care, at the right time, in the right place, by the right provider.
n Sponsored over 100 programs, teleconferences, symposiums, and other public education events to provide skill building strategies, relevant and comprehensive information, self-advocacy techniques and more.
n Fostered nearly 40 self-help and networking groups designed to address the emotional challenges of MS with avenues for encouragement, information, building new relationships and friendships.
n Gained local representation of two leading volunteers on the National Board of Directors — Dr. Lily Jung Henson and John Bjornson — among the many dedicated volunteers that are driving our great work.
n Increased the volunteers involved in directing the programs and services provided to people with MS in the areas of emotional health, clinical care, government relations, employment support, financial planning, long-term care and housing, newly diagnosed support and more.
n Introduced the Walk MS Super Youth, a special program for dedicated fundraisers 18 and under, with 583 new participants and more than $21,000 raised by the top 10 youth fundraisers combined.
n Marked a new revenue milestone with $7 million raised in the 2010 fiscal year.

“When I was first diagnosed 37 years ago, I was doing well with MS and didn’t see the need to connect with the Chapter. Then, four years ago, I found out that my own staff had formed a MS walk team. They shamed me, and I’m glad they did. Were it not for this Chapter, many people wouldn’t have the quality of life that they do.”Reid Shockey, Walk MS participant and MS ambassador

Your donation changes lives!Financial assistance was granted to four recipients, including Todd Small, who underwent stem cell transplants for MS research, along with countless hours of service management to tap into other resources such as supervised exercise therapy during recovery and counseling to provide emotional support throughout the entire process.
“When you have MS it can sometimes be a full time job. All I want to do is work and provide for my family, but lately the money for the latest in treatment can be hard to come by and that’s where people like you come in. I cannot thank you enough for being in my corner on this one. I thank you. My wife and two kids thank you also.” — Todd Small, financial assistance recipient
Mary Maxwell of Alaska received prescription assistance when she was to be without medication for over a month while waiting for another prescription assistance program to make a determination.
Support to Families grants provided the funds needed for Alexis Barbee, a Wash-ington teenager living with MS, to attend a special Teens with MS camp hosted by the Southern California Chapter and the only camp of its kind on the West Coast.
