We Serve People Living with Multiple Sclerosis
Every day, thousands of people are facing the challenges of multiple sclerosis (MS), and every day, they're discovering untapped inner resources of personal strength and courage they never knew they had. An unwavering positive attitude helps these amazing people deal with the challenges of managing MS.
After living with MS for more than six years, 24-year old Erin Morrow is calling on a dozen or so men and women in her support group to help her develop a guidebook for young people with MS. "My goal is to create a real-life book with facts, stories of how my friends and I have dealt with having MS in our 20s and 30s, and helpful tidbits to get people constructively on their way to living a healthy life even with this disease," explains the Nashville native.

* BETASERON® (Interferon beta-1b) is indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis to reduce the frequency of clinical exacerbations. Patients with multiple sclerosis in whom efficacy has been demonstrated include patients who have experienced a first clinical episode and have MRI features consistent with multiple sclerosis.
