The Multiple Sclerosis Assocation of America is a non-profit organization that helps people in the United States who are affected by the chronic disease multiple sclerosis.  The mission of the MS Association of America is to “enrich the quality of life for everyone affected by multiple sclerosis (MS).”  In order to help people more effectively, they have a website set up that is available to people all over the world.  The homepage features links to all the major parts of their website, including their calendar of events, recent news, the donation page, about MS, the contact us page, and more.

The website is able to give a lot of different people a wide variety of reliable information about multiple sclerosis.  This can be helpful for people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, medical professionals who treat the disease, and people who care for or live with those with MS.  The website also allows people to get publications for information offline.  These can include pamphlets, brochures, or books about multiple sclerosis, its symptoms, and the treatment options for it.  These can be distributed at fundraisers, doctor’s offices, or clinics.  This ensures that people are getting the right information about multiple sclerosis and how it can be treated.
