National Multiple Sclerosis Society
Quick Facts:
- Designated as the TerpSys "plus one" organization for 2007
- One of the top fundraising teams for the Reston MS Walk
The National Capital Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society provides support services to help people with MS and their families better cope with the consequences of the disease. Whether providing accurate and up-to-date information and referrals, helping people obtain or keep jobs, or running rehabilitation and counseling programs, the goal of the Chapter's support system is to empower people with MS and their loved ones so that they can better control their lives.
In 2007, TerpSys designated the National Multiple Sclerosis Society as our "plus one" organization. Team Turtle participated in the MS Walk in Reston, VA in April and raised over $10,000.
