MS doesn't just impact adults, and families affected by pediatric MS have a powerful story to share. If you have a child with MS or were diagnosed with MS as a child, please share your story in images, video and/or words on social media using #KidsGetMSToo. Follow the story on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Learn more about pediatric MS resources by visiting our website.

LEND YOUR VOICE: TAKE THE MS MEDICATIONS SURVEY
It will take all of us to find solutions to make MS medications, and the process for getting them, affordable, simple, and transparent. The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) is currently conducting a review of disease-modifying therapies for relapsing-remitting and primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis. If you have MS, whether or not you are taking a disease-modifying therapy, and are over 21, lend your voice by taking this survey by September 14.
