Together, We Are Building Something Meaningful
National MSA Research was established following the loss of Adrian Klep to Multiple System Atrophy in September 2024.
His story inspired a determination to increase awareness and contribute towards a future of better understanding, more effective treatments and ultimately a cure.
Our fundraising events reflect the strength of the community that has grown around this mission.
Every participant, volunteer, donor and sponsor contributes towards that shared purpose.
As we look back on our events, we celebrate not only the activities themselves but also the people who have made them possible.
Every Event Creates Memories. Every Memory Tells a Story. Every Story Helps Raise Awareness.
