For the last 20 years on the second Sunday of each month, individuals (those living with MS and also their caregivers) come together to listen to and help one another. They share helpful tips for maneuvering through the health care system and discuss the latest breakthroughs in medications, pain management and the day-to-day challenges of living with MS.
