The Greater Delaware Valley Chapter understands that MS is a family disease. We offer programs like this one because they give families an opportunity to come together and connect in a way that is beyond MS. Because of this, we regret to inform you that groups who register and attend the program without a person living with MS will not be permitted to participate.

We're sorry, the deadline for registering for this event has passed.
