ABOUT OUR HOST
 

MS-Take Charge

MS-Take Charge is a nonprofit organization founded by Shelly Sutley, who lives with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and is dedicated to empowering others with the condition.   Based in Eau Claire, WI, our mission is to build a stronger, more supportive community for individuals living with MS by providing accessible movement programs, educational opportunities, and a space for connection.

While we currently offer therapeutic yoga, cycling classes, and a support group, our vision is to expand these programs and introduce new wellness initiatives, resources, and events designed to improve the quality of life for those with MS.   We believe that movement, education, and community are key to helping individuals take charge of their health and well-being—but we can’t do it alone.

With the support of our local community, volunteers, and donors, we aim to:

  • Offer more movement-based classes tailored to the unique needs of those with MS

  • Provide educational workshops covering topics like nutrition, mental health, and symptom management

  • Create a safe, welcoming space where individuals can connect, learn, and find encouragement

  • Advocate for greater accessibility and awareness to improve the lives of those affected by MS

 

This is just the beginning, and we need YOU to help us grow. Every donation, volunteer effort, and shared story brings us one step closer to making these goals a reality. Join us in building a thriving MS community where everyone has the resources and support they need to take charge of their journey.
