Mom’s Squad is a non-profit organization founded to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. We are a group of family and friends who work together to host events to raise money to fight Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. It is thought to be an immune-mediated disorder, in which the immune system incorrectly attacks healthy tissue in the CNS.

In multiple sclerosis, damage in the central nervous system (CNS) interferes with the transmission of nerve signals between the brain and spinal cord and other parts of the body.

Most people are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, although children and older adults may develop it.

Worldwide, more than 2.3 million people have a diagnosis of MS. In the United States a recently completed prevalence study, funded by the National MS Society, has estimated that nearly 1 million people over the age of 18 live with a diagnosis of MS.
