National Multiple Sclerosis Society

I’m running the Miami Marathon to raise awareness for a cause that means a lot to myself and my family.

My uncle has battled with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for many years. This challenging disease has slowly taken away his ability to walk and live independently. Despite this, he meets each day with a smile that inspires everyone around him, including his three daughters.

I decided to run as a reminder of how precious each step is, and to show gratitude for the ability to move, walk, and run. I am raising funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS), which is dedicated to supporting individuals affected by multiple sclerosis (MS) and funding research to find a cure for the disease.

This year, we have chosen to support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, an organization dedicated to ensuring that people affected by MS have the systems and support they need, as well as supporting researchers with the resources they need to improve treatment and find a cure1.

For more than a decade, CXI has been driven by our commitment to be Customer-First. We are a diverse community of experts who channel a shared passion and collaborative approach into the excellence of Customer-First service. Inclusion is what we celebrate, integrity is our source of pride, and innovation is how we transform the future2. This commitment extends beyond our professional endeavors and into our community efforts.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease that affects millions of people worldwide, including members of our own CXI family. By supporting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, we are not only contributing to a cause that aims to improve the lives of those affected by MS but also standing in solidarity with our colleagues, friends, and loved ones who face this challenge every day.

Our goal for this year's drive is to collect $1,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. We have set up a series of fundraising milestones, and as we reach each goal, exciting rewards will be unlocked for everyone!

Here’s a sneak peek at what you can look forward to:

This is a wonderful opportunity for us to come together as a company and make a positive impact in our community. Let's work together to reach our goal and make a difference in the lives of those affected by MS. Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

The annual Play it Forward tennis tournament and fundraiser, directed by Great Neck North High School senior Eliza Schulman and junior Katelyn Ho, unites the Great Neck community in raising money for the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society, in honor of our beloved coach Mindy Alpert who suffers from MS. Our founders, Sophie Frenkel and Alana Shapiro, launched this initiative in 2021, and it continues to flourish. Coach Mindy is a true scholar, athlete, and philanthropist. Our community could not be more grateful to have her as a volunteer coach of North High’s tennis, basketball, and badminton teams for the past 17 years and counting.

After making her mark at North High, Mindy attended Cornell University as a player on the varsity basketball and tennis teams. After graduating, she ultimately became a Senior Vice President at Morgan Stanley, where she worked for many years until she became ill.

Following her diagnosis, and despite her many challenges, Mindy has been determined to dedicate her time and resources to helping others. She has volunteered for the National MS Society for the past 25 years and served as a National Director for the past 15 years. She does all of this while volunteer coaching our teams at North High.

The National MS Society works to help each person address the challenges of living with MS by funding cutting-edge research, driving change through advocacy, and providing programs and services that help people with MS and their families. The Society's mission is: We will cure MS while empowering people affected by MS to live their best lives.

Join us in following Coach Mindy’s extraordinary example to "Play" it Forward and one day cure MS.

My name is Ryan Adkins, and I am excited to embark on my second Chicago Triathlon. My motivation is to raise awareness and support the fight against MS in honor of my incredible mother, Kim. Despite the challenges posed by multiple sclerosis, she remains an epitome of toughness and bravery, battling it every single day.

MS may be a part of her life, but it does not define her. Instead, it presents an opportunity for me to stand alongside her in this fight. To make a significant difference, I have decided to donate all the funds raised to the National MS Society. However, I can't do it alone. With your valuable help and support, we can truly make a lasting impact as we unite in our pursuit of a cure for this debilitating condition. Together, let's create a world where MS is conquered and lives are transformed for the better!

Thank you!

Thanks so much for supporting our fundraising efforts.

Over the next few weeks the 3 of us (Georgia, Allie and Max) will be taking part in our first triathlons - 1.5km swimming, 40km cycling, 10km running. Yes the Olympics continues! Allie and Max will be doing one in the US and Georgia will be doing one in England. We've all been trying hard to find time to train since the start of the year and are excited for the big days!

We would really appreciate your donations of any size to help support National Multiple Sclerosis Society, a brilliant charity supporting individuals affected by multiple sclerosis and funding research to find a cure for the disease.

Thanks again! <3

Hi! My name is Evelyn Keith and I'm helping to raise funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society! I've had family and family of friends who have dealt with this before. Specifically, my uncle has suffered from Multiple Sclerosis and I really want to try and help him at least some. I hope to assist him in making his treatment more affordable and help him get through this as easily as possible. It's hard seeing people that you care about be in pain about something that isn't easy and really expensive to help treat. Through donations, medication for Multiple Sclerosis can help get people affected by the treatment they need!

If you are reading this, you probably know me, and here’s why I’m hoping you’ll consider my request for a donation to the National MS Society.

At the age of 29, my mom was “examined neurologically for the first time on September 26, 1975.” On September 8, 1986, following an MRI which showed “unmistakable plaquing” she was officially diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

My mom’s battle with MS, for the last 49 years (and hence the fundraising goal) has fundamentally impacted the person I am today.

I’ve long day-dreamed about holding big fundraising gala’s to donate to MS charities, but that hasn’t happened. So, I decided I’ll do what I can—here and now.

The catalyst for this fundraising now, is that a while back I decided I wanted to try to hike Rim-to-Rim (R2R) of the Grand Canyon. On Sunday (July 14), I will descend 5900 feet into the canyon from the North Rim--hiking 14 miles down the North Kaibab trail. On Monday (July 15), I will hike the Bright Angel trail 10 miles and gain 4300 feet to arrive at South Rim.

There are not enough steps I could take—into any canyon or to the top of any mountain—which would ever come close to walking a day in my mother’s shoes. She has lived with more grit and grace than anyone I’ve ever known.

However, before I take a step, I wanted to offer up gratitude and my full awareness of the privilege I have to even get to make the choice to try.

This in honor of my mother.

Thank you for reading this far... and for supporting this cause if you are so inclined and able.

In 2019, I became worse than legally blind in my left eye. Not knowing what the cause was. I was in and out of the hospital for several weeks trying to figure out what was happening to me. I would eventually come to find out that what I was experiencing was optic neuritis, which is a symptom to the onset of multiple sclerosis. The months following the diagnosis were difficult and extremely challenging. I know that there are many more individuals like me out there that may have gone through my same experience and some that may have had it even worse. Our goal here is to stride forward and aim to find a cure for those affected by multiple sclerosis

Help me, help others. We are raising money to benefit National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause, that means so much to those impacted by your contribution.

The Society's mission is: We will cure MS while empowering people affected by MS to live their best lives.

On March 23rd, the Theta Chapter of Kappa Beta Gamma at Saint Norbert College will be hosting the 19th annual MS Benefit to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The National MS Society is one of our philanthropies and means a lot to us because we have past sisters and family members diagnosed with MS. MS is a lifelong disease of the central nervous system that can be debilitating to those diagnosed. The National MS Society supports research, educations, advocacy, and local programs that enhance the quality of life for people with MS. Any support you can give to the National MS Society is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your support!
