Empowering People with MS to Live Fully

MS Thrive KC will connect people affected by multiple sclerosis in the greater Kansas City area through peer support, adaptive wellness programming, educational resources, and social connection — empowering members to live fully at every stage of their MS journey.

We're Building a Place for Everyone Affected by MS

People with MS

All types and stages welcome — RRMS, SPMS, PPMS, and CIS. Whether you were diagnosed last week or decades ago.

Newly Diagnosed

Feeling overwhelmed? You are not alone. We provide a safe place to ask questions, hear real stories, and find your footing.

Caregivers & Families

Spouses, partners, parents, and family members. MS affects everyone around the person diagnosed — and so does support.

Young Adults

Under 45 and living with MS? Connect with others navigating careers, relationships, and life milestones alongside a chronic diagnosis.
