MS-ing Around is beyond grateful for the community, connection, laughter, and JOY that surrounded us this weekend for Be Well & Engage 2026.. We had a FUN-draiser full of laughter and JOY and multiple Wellness events that created lasting bonds. Community matters with a chronic illness, and at MS-ing Around we believe that community should be rooted in JOY!

And we pray for an abundance of JOY in your life always. Stay tuned for our next event on April 25th, 2026, IFAC- Improv for Advocacy and Confidence.
