to the Alaska MS CenterYou’re donations are gratefully appreciated. Thank-you for helping continue to provide essential programs and services to Alaskans living with MS.     Multiple Sclerosis is a lifetime of challenges.  It demands that no day be taken for granted, that every accomplishment be seen as significant. MS can change habits, rearrange priorities, demand sacrifices.But every day, people with MS prove they are much more than their diseaseAnd that a life with MS should be, can be, and indeed is, well worth living.      (Anonymous)

In Alaska, a state with a high prevalence of   individuals with MS, there was not one entity that met the needs of the MS patient~ from information regarding medication choices, to exercise classes , medical referrals, lifestyle changes , or just a place to gather with other individuals to talk.  We are Alaskans with MS whose goal is to establish such an environment, to build a place that meets the needs of the Alaskan MS community by providing educational resources, support and regular programs created to improve one’s quality of life. By providing services above and beyond the direct medical needs of an individual, we compliment the efforts of the Alaska Medical Community and work  to provide the  best resources available for each individual.

In partnership with the YMCA, we sponsor   a free MS Aquatic Therapy Program in Anchorage , and thanks to a generous grant from the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation (MSF) we are able to offer Anchorage based Balance, Core and More strengthening classes, Nordic ski training with Olympian Lars Flora, Adaptive Yoga, Therapeutic horse back riding and  Brain Games; Mat-Su sessions of  Healing Yoga at Anjali Yoga Studios, other  educational   seminars, a Disability Facts and Fun Fair and many Common Adventures encouraging healthy living practices outdoors and in.

With the generous  help of  the Providence Foundation, private donations and grants  we are   able to provide a warm gathering place for local support groups,   hold informational events, provide care referrals and medication information as well as a friendly ear when needed.
