About MS Run the US

MS Run the US is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness, supporting those living with multiple sclerosis, and moving the mission forward—one mile at a time.

Founded by endurance athlete Ashley Schneider, whose mother lives with MS, the organization began with a single, bold idea: run across the United States to make a difference. Since then, hundreds of runners, donors, and supporters have joined the movement to fund care, research, and programs that promote health, connection, and empowerment for the MS community.

Each year, we host the MS Run the US Relay—a 3,200-mile relay run across America—as well as community events and endurance challenges that unite people through sport and purpose.
