World MS Day, held each year on May 30, is a time to raise awareness, build community, and stand in solidarity with the millions of people affected by multiple sclerosis.

At OSF HealthCare, we’re proud to offer expert care through the Illinois Neurological Institute (INI), supporting individuals and families through every step of their MS journey. But we can’t do it without you.

Lisa, who was diagnosed with MS after years of uncertainty, shared, ““It’s scary because you don’t know. I don’t know today to tomorrow what’s going to happen. But working with INI, I never feel like I’m alone anymore. Where before I wanted to hide everything, now I want everybody to know who INI is. I don’t know where I’d be without you. So when I thank everyone for supporting them, it’s because of you that I can breathe. Life’s going to be a little bit better.”

Daniel, once a high school track coach and math teacher, began noticing tremors and pain in his legs and hands at just 26 years old. His MS diagnosis changed his path, but not his spirit.

Your support makes stories like Lisa’s and Daniel’s possible. When you give, you help provide specialized, expert care, fund resources like ramps and mobility tools, expand access to advanced treatment, and offer emotional and spiritual support during life’s most uncertain moments.

This World MS Day, give a gift of healing, hope, and strength to those living with MS in our communities.

Your support makes all the difference..
