Approximately 13,000 Americans and thousands more around the world are currently battling Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a rare and terminal neurodegenerative disease. By setting up a fundraiser and/or by donating you will play an important part in the effort to defeat MSA.

The Multiple System Atrophy Coalition is LEADING THE FIGHT TO CURE MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY while providing COMPASSIONATE SUPPORT and INFORMATIVE RESOURCES to benefit families affected by this serious, progressively disabling, neurodegenerative disease.

As the LEADING NONPROFIT FUNDER OF MSA RESEARCH, the MSA Coalition has a GLOBALLY FOCUSED RESEARCH STRATEGY to seek the most innovative and best ideas while FACILITATING COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS among world class institutions: SPEEDING THE WAY TO A CURE!

The MSA Coalition first began in 1989 when a toll free support line was installed at the home of an experienced MSA caregiver. Today families around the world can seek support through an extensive global online community. HELPING FAMILIES COPE by OFFERING SUPPORT AND COMFORT and alleviating feelings of confusion and isolation drives our continued efforts to develop and maintain programs to support, educate, advocate and fund research.
